http://www.cla.wayne.edu/sociology/undergrad_faq.html
Questions about Majoring in Sociology What is Sociology? Sociology is the study of human society and social life and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Social life encompasses all interpersonal relationships, all groups or collections of persons, and all types of social organizations. Sociologists believe that people can be understood only by viewing them within a social contexts: their society, their social contacts and social interactions, and their group and organizational involvement. As a result, the study and understanding of these factors makes sociology relevant to people in virtually every line of work and at every level. What can you do with a major in Sociology? There is virtually no social issue that sociology does not touch. It is a broad discipline making it an excellent major for anyone interested in society and social relationships. Sociology is relevant wherever human relations are at work. For example, courses can be taken at Wayne State University in areas such as race and ethnicity, health, gender, crime, aging, population, family, religion, and social problems to mention a few. Very few majors plan to become professional sociologists but use the major as an undergraduate prerequisite to enter professional schools or to prepare for entering the world of employment. Their training in theory, research and substantive areas required of all majors opens up a broad range of career opportunities.

During the classes they teach they explore the economic and social relations and scientific data in relationship to human behavior and metal processes. They prepare lectures, classroom exercises, homework assignments and tests. They may also direct surveys and research programs. Their research findings are sometimes published in books or journals. They must keep abreast of developments in their field by reading current literature, talking with colleagues and participating in professional conferences. They also do their own research to expand their knowledge in their field. They may perform experiments; collect and analyze data and examine original documents, literature and other source material. From this process they arrive at conclusions and publish their findings in scholarly journals, books and electronic media. Most faculty members serve on academic or administrative committees that deal with the policies of their institution, departmental matters, academic issues, curricula, budgets, equipment purchases and hiring. Some work with student and community organizations. Department chairpersons are faculty members who usually teach some courses but usually have heavier administrative responsibilities.
