BA in Sociology (Honors) in Durham United States | University of New Hampshire

Sociology examines social structures and interactions within communities, whether large or small. It explores how groups shape individual choices and actions, as well as how individuals can impact collective dynamics. Through this field, you'll develop research skills, data analysis techniques, and statistical methods while investigating pressing issues like racial discrimination, gender disparities, community-environment relationships, religious influences, substance abuse, and psychological well-being. This foundation prepares graduates for careers or advanced studies in counseling, social work, healthcare administration, business leadership, teaching, market research, law enforcement, and public policy.
