Human and social services agencies working with specialized populations such as youth, families, the elderly and communities, as well as service oriented agencies dealing with issues in mental health, substance use and domestic violence, highly value job candidates with a background in sociology. Many of our students interested in these fields find work as child life specialists, social workers, community development specialists, case managers, or mental health advocates. Others may transition to graduate programs in Social Work (MSW), Public Health (MPH), and Public Administration (MPA).
