匹茲堡大學(xué)布拉德福德分校

As a sociology student, you'll learn all about those groups and much more. And, you'll get a chance to research a topic of your choice. Our students have studied some pretty interesting subjects: Women who tend bar. The rituals that baseball players follow. Why people dance. The effects of divorce on children. Gender differences in video games. You may get the chance to present your research or have it published, which will look great on a resume.

When you graduate, you'll be prepared to work in several areas. At a government agency, community organizations or school. At a correctional facility, public relations firms or with an industry. Or, you can go on to graduate school to study law, social work, higher education and public administration or another area.
