Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Sociology] From Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

Sociology majors work in areas that focus on helping improve the life chances of people in all aspects of society. This approach focuses on how our social structures and organizations influence our behavior and our opportunities in life based on our membership in various social groups. For example, we know that men make more money than women, white Americans live longer than black Americans, and poor people actually pay a greater portion of their income in taxes than wealthy people. Sociological research has clarified these patterns and many others. Sociologists often work with stakeholders to change policies and improve social conditions for groups in our society.
