Sociologists are a little like doctors. They don’t order blood tests to find out what’s ailing a patient. Instead, they put systems and institutions under the microscope.
For example, some sociologists analyze statistics to discover how social norms affect public participation online. Others investigate how public schools can better interact with students of different cultures. Still others research the role of police officers in the community.
At Pima, you will study how people interact in a wide variety of groupings: marital partners, families, cities, ethnic groups, global societies.
You are a good fit for Sociology if you like to analyze ideas for their strengths and weaknesses, and to use logic to draw conclusions. The ability to communicate persuasively and appreciate diversity also is important.
Students interested in Social Services should complete a degree or certificate in that discipline.
