WELCOME TO THE UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM IN SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is an exciting degree that allows its students to pursue a multiplicity of careers and interests. Berkeley’s sociology degree includes training in research methods and sociological theory, as well as opportunities to explore the broad range of sociological research and dive deeper into select topics. With world-renowned faculty and one of the best graduate programs in sociology, undergraduates in our department have a unique opportunity to engage in a lively academic environment that can hone their capacities as thinkers, leaders, and doers while learning in a community of like minded students ready to critically learn from, and change the world.
In this section you will find more information about our major and find resources to help navigate your way through a degree in sociology. Explore and Discover what you can do with a sociology major.
