Major in Sociology
How to Major in Sociology
Students considering a major in Sociology are encouraged to complete either SOC 1010
Introduction Sociology or SOC 2010 Social Problems (or their honors equivalent) to acquaint
themselves with the discipline and confirm their interest in sociology as a major. Those
deciding to pursue the major should contact the Department of Sociology and Anthropology in
TODD 342 (898-2508) to declare sociology as their major and be assigned an advisor. With
the advisor, the student will develop a program of study that meets the requirements listed
below. It is strongly recommended that students complete MATH 1530 (Applied Statistics) to
meet the general education math requirement.
Requirements for the Sociology Major
The major consists of 34 hours of sociology, at least 25 of which must be from upper division
courses. Required courses include SOC 1010 Introduction to Sociology, SOC 3040
Sociological Research Methods, SOC 3050 Sociological Data Analysis, SOC 3060
Sociological Theory, and SOC 4980 Senior Seminar. Students must receive at least a C in each
required course. Additionally, students must complete 3 hours emphasizing institutions and
the sociological imagination (see below) and 3 hours of critical perspectives in sociology
(see below). Ideally students should take 3040, 3050, and 3060 early in the academic program,
but no later than the junior year and prior to enrolling in Senior Seminar (SOC 4980). Senior
Seminar should be completed during the senior year. In consultation with the student’s
advisor, the remaining 12 hours of electives may be organized into a concentration. Possible
concentrations include, but are not limited to social inequalities, deviance and social control,
work and family, and health and aging. Students are also required to complete two minors for
the BS degree or one minor plus 12 hours of language for the BA degree.

What do sociologists do?









Agencies and organizations look to sociologists for their unique ability to define the
crucial dimensions of a problem, isolate the most critical variables that affect it, and
collaborate with others to craft a viable course of action.
Sociologists work inside organizations in management positions from outside
organizations as consultants and partners in rethinking how systems function.
Sociologists hold positions in virtually every employment setting, including:
Federal, state, and local governments
International agencies
Social service agencies, non-profit organizations
Corporations, think tanks, and small businesses
Consulting firms
Universities and colleges
Sociologists help frame problems within a larger social science context, building on a
strong foundation of concepts and theories. They combine their broad understanding of
race, gender, social class, cultural diversity, and age with insights into how
organizational and social systems work. This makes them uniquely valuable as
objective researchers and innovative change agents.
Sociologists contribute to the contemporary workforce, bringing sophisticated skills
and knowledge of research design to the most challenging problems. Sociologists
receive broad training in basic social research, program evaluation, or policy analysis.
Some conduct basic research, while others apply research-based knowledge to help
organizations rethink existing programs and strategies or plan for the future.
"Quantitative" sociologists bring expertise in survey design, statistical analysis, and
management of large scale data bases. "Qualitative" sociologists have been trained in
intensive interviewing, focus group research, community research, conflict analysis,
policy analysis, and social impact analysis. Both are adept at interpreting data and
deriving implications of research for policy and program development.
Familiarity with the latest computer programs and management of data bases rank high
among sociologist' skills, including:
Quantitative and qualitative methodologies
Data analysis
Social impact assessment
Program evaluation
Focus group research
Mediation and arbitration
And other applied skills
Sociologists use statistical analysis software to interpret complicated findings. They
prepare reports to governing bodies, employees, the general public, or the media, using
clear, accessible language.
Sociologists offer expertise in substantive areas, adding depth to research, planning,
and development projects. Expertise in a specific subject may be of crucial importance
to an employer.

Successfully completing either a major or minor in sociology means one must be able to master
writing the sociological essay: using appropriately cited evidence, structuring an effective
argument, and capturing the sociological style. See the following for help in writing
sociological essays: http://www.monash.edu.au/lls/llonline/writing/arts/sociology/index.xml
The Value of Internships and Service Learning
Internships during or just after the undergraduate years offer invaluable experience that can
bring to life the sociological concepts and theories you study in books and in the classroom.
You can sample potential careers, build your resume, and learn new skills during a well-chosen
internship experience. Participation in an internship affords an excellent way to explore career
options and help determine what aspects of sociology interest you. A wide range of internships
is available to sociology majors/minors. See Internship Handbook for more information –
Sociology and Anthropology Department Office.
In order to design your internship, ask yourself these questions:
1. "In what areas would I like to grow?"
2. "What are my strongest assets?"
3. "How can I make a meaningful contribution in a relatively short time?"
11
•
•
•
Volunteer your time and skills to an employer on a temporary or part-time basis in order to
establish initial contact and lay the foundation for future work.
Contact your cooperative education, internship and / or service learning coordinator on
campus for a listing of organizations that accept interns and for general advice on how to
find an internship and derive the most benefit from it.
Contact by letter and follow-up telephone call to several nonprofit organizations,
corporations, businesses, and government or educational agencies the geographic location
that interests you -- the broader the net, the more likely someone will offer you an
internship.

Upper Division Form Requirements
An Upper Division form should be completed at the end of the sophomore year. The purpose
of the Upper Division Form is to provide information on the student's major and minor areas
for the University Records Office. This information is entered into the University computer
system and is used to track the student's progress toward a degree. See forms at the end of this
handbook or reference the online forms at http://www.mtsu.edu/soc/studentforms_soc.php.
Intent to Graduate Form
Graduation is conducted at the close of the Fall, Spring, and Summer terms. Students who plan
to graduate should complete a Notice of Intention to Graduate form within the first two weeks
of the first semester of the senior year. This form is available in the Records Office, 102 Cope
Administration Building. Follow this link to access the Intent to Graduate Form online:
http://www.mtsu.edu/records/docs/intentform.pdf.
Advising
The purpose of advising is to enable the sociology faculty to provide the highest quality advice
to the student regarding his/her academic career so that he/she can make meaningful progress
toward a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology in the shortest possible time. Good advising requires
teamwork and cooperation between faculty members and students. The advising system for
Sociology majors and minors is as follows:
1.
Students come to the Sociology Department Office, 342 Todd Hall, to register officially
as a sociology major. Students may indicate their preference for an advisor on this form.
2.
It is the responsibility of the student to become familiar with requirements for the
bachelor’s degree that are in the MTSU Catalog.
3.
It is in the students best interest to become acquainted with his/her advisor and have the
advisor review the students schedule before registration to ensure that no mistakes
occur.
16
The "Non-Traditional" Student
The Sociology Department welcomes students who are returning to the University after raising
children, working for a few years, or who are changing careers. They may have
responsibilities for families, and often are juggling several roles such as parent, spouse,
student, and part or full time employee. They may be concerned about adapting to college life
and some are uncomfortable about the quality of their previous college work. The Sociology
Department has many majors who fit this description. The faculty offers attention and support
to these students.
A Final Note on the Social Science Advantage
The changes in the 21st century job market are becoming more apparent with each passing year.
Jobs of interest to you were most likely non-existent when your parents started their careers.
Some of the sought after skills in this new era include: creativity, innovation, critical thinking,
analytic problem-solving, excellent communication skills (both verbal and written),
collaboration, multi-cultural and global understandings, and strength in mathematics and
science. As these changes shape the job market, continual change, diversity, and higher
educational requirements are making it more difficult to find and retain a career.
For sociology majors, these insights need not instill fear of those changes in the job market.
Sociologists study social change, diverse communities and their interactions, and employ
scientific methods to answer difficult social questions. Sociology will serve to provide those indemand skills outlined above and prepare you for success in your future career. Sociology,
being the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human
behavior, uses scientific approaches to address these core areas, while the humanities and the
arts do not offer this scientific base.
Eight key skills of graduating sociology majors are as follows:
• Identify ethical issues in research
• Develop evidence-based arguments
• Evaluate different research methods
• Write a report understandable by non-sociologists
• Form causal hypotheses
• Use computer resources to develop reference list
• Interpret the results of data gathering
• Use statistical software
• Discuss percentages and significance in a two variable table
Starting to see the connection to those in-demand skills employers are looking for? Whether
you are seeking a career in social services, counseling, administrative support, management,
teaching, services, sales and marketing, social science research, or many other areas, sociology
offers a competitive edge for new graduates entering the 21st century job market and provides
valuable skills for both your personal and professional life.
This career information is paraphrased from "21 st Century Careers with an Undergraduate Degree in Sociology",
American Sociological Association, 2009, pp1-12.
17
MTSU offers a Master of Arts Degree in Sociology
described in detail in the MTSU Graduate Catalog
and Graduate Sociology Handbook at
http://www.mtsu.edu/soc/documents/SOC_HANDBOOK_2013.pdf
What can I do with a Master of Arts or Doctoral Degree
(Ph.D.) in Sociology?
With advanced degrees, it is more likely that a job will have the title sociologist, but many
opportunities exist--the diversity of sociological career ranges much farther than what you
might find under "S" in the Sunday newspaper employment ads.
• Sociologists become high school teachers or faculty in colleges
• Sociologists enter the corporate, non-profit, and governments worlds as directors of
research, policy analysts, consultants, human resource managers, and program
managers.
• Practicing sociologists with advanced degrees may be called research analysts, survey
researchers, gerontologists, statisticians, urban planners, community developers,
criminologists, or demographers.
• Some MA and PhD sociologists obtain specialized training to become counselors,
therapists, or program directors in social service agencies.
People with degrees in sociology may enter many careers, and the options are increasing.
What is common to all of these careers? Underlying sociological training is the commitment to
understand human relationships in every kind of social group.
There are two specific career paths available to graduate students through completion of one of
our Graduate Certificate Programs. These programs can be completed alone or in conjunction
with the Master of Arts degree.
Graduate Certificate in Gerontology (Dr. Brandon Wallace)
The certificate program in Gerontology provides supplementary education in gerontology for
students preparing for careers in a broad range of positions. This program is designed to give
those already working in the field an opportunity to enrich skills and knowledge and to provide
further opportunities for career advancement. Requirements include core courses (6 hours) and
electives (12 hours). http://catalog.mtsu.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=9&poid=2253
Graduate Certificate in Women’s and Gender Studies (Director - Dr. Newtona Johnson
or Dr. Vicky MacLean in Sociology) The certificate program in Women’s and Gender
Studies seeks to provide students with knowledge of fundamental issues in sex and gender and
how these are reflected in culture across time; how they shape institutions as well as personal
experience; how they interact with issues such as race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic class; how
new ways of thinking about gender challenges the processes by which knowledge about human
beings and our behavior is acquired, interpreted, and transmitted; and how to do research
within the field and apply this knowledge to one’s personal and professional life. Requirements
include core courses (9 hours) and electives (9 hours). Although not housed within the
18
Sociology Department, we support this certificate.
