Applied Sociology
Applied Sociology
Applied Sociology is the scientific study of methods and research to address social problems in real-world experiences. Applied Sociology majors are well prepared to enter many rewarding positions in the work force right out of college or further graduate training in law, business, community planning, architecture, medicine, politics, or academics.
Why Study Applied Sociology
Students will acquire the skills to think scientifically about real-world problems, societies, and human behavior, equipping them to excel in a competitive marketplace or in graduate programs.
Course of Study
The Department of Sociology offers the Bachelor of Science in Applied Sociology degree fully online through MS State Online. Students who wish to major in applied sociology should plan their programs with the departmental major advisor as soon as possible after entering the University and should consult with their advisor before each registration period.
