Sociology

Hi Mandali,
The field of sociology includes a large number of specialties: race and ethnic relations, urban sociology, deviance, political sociology, sociology of the family and social psychology. Almost any aspect of how human beings gather together in groups, organizations, and societies can be studied within sociology. Sociology provides a broad umbrella under which many ways of examining human social life are included. In short, it involves all aspects of human experience and activity. Sociology allows students to integrate knowledge from a variety of social disciplines including history, economics, psychology, political science and anthropology. Consequently, it is an appropriate concentration for students who are interested in a wide variety of subjects and academic fields. So you can even do your post graduation or specialization in any of the above mentioned fields. Sociology seems to offer something for everyone; its career potential is almost limitless. As a result, sociology is a popular concentration for students planning future studies in business, education, law, social research, architecture, and medicine, as well as social work and public administration. Research institutes, the criminal justice system, public health and welfare organizations, private business, government, and international agencies employ sociologists. Students with a bachelor's degree often secure employment as research assistants, data analysts, case workers, paralegals, advertising managers and administrators. Researchers in a variety of nonacademic settings - federal, state, or local public agencies, business or industrial firms as well as private institutes are increasingly in demand. Advanced degrees are generally required for consulting work, upper level administrative positions, advanced research jobs and college teaching. With an M.A in sociology, you may appear for the UGC-NET exams for lectureship.
