A. most ologies don't do much for you unless you have a post grad degree, the worst might be sociology. On the bright side, soc. and nursing go well together, you should be able to find some kind of niche in the nursing field.

What is the differents in a sociology degree and social work degree?
Q. I have a choice between two universities. One University has a sociology program and the other one has a sociology and human services program. I know people major in sociology who wants to go into social work. I am just wondering If a company chooses one over the other one. I am thinking the person with a Human Service degree would get a job before the person with the degree in sociology because it's more about social work/human services job. Sociology is a broader field. I need advice please.

A. You would be much better off going to a university with a BA in social work if you want to be a social worker. The BSW is the most respected BA degree in the human services because it is accredited and has a good internship. A degree in sociology will give you a good understanding of social problems. A degree in human services at a BA level is uncommon (usually seen more at an AA level). You might really want to look at another university. DA

A. I did some research for you hope it helps. Anthropologists have focused on the study of tribal peoples and gathered information predominantly through field research, participant observation, and other qualitative methods. Sociologists emphasized the study of industrial societies and tended to use more quantitative methods like surveys and questionnaires Then you have "Social work" seeks to address the social and economic conditions that affect individuals, families, and groups and to intervene and seek positive change in social policy and human existence at individual and societal levels.

What is the difference between sociology and psychology?
Q. I have been looking at career options and majors, and I was wondering what is the difference between sociology and psychology? What career can you have if you major in either of them?
Asked by Lauren - Tue Jul 29 15:51:02 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Psychology is a study of the mind and the behavior of indivudals or how groups affect the individual. Sociology is the study of society as a whole, and the dynamics of large groups of people. With a psychology degree you could become a therapist, social worker, school counceilor...I dunno. And sociologists would probably get some sort of work in an academic institution; you'd be a researcher or a professor, most likely.

Is sociology a good major for a prospective police officer?

A. Well, as a sociology/criminology major, I can tell you there are not a whole lot of "good" jobs out there aside from research or teaching jobs. It helps to have a area of specialty within the field, such as criminology or statistics that way you have more to offer than a basic sociology degree. Sociological research is very interesting, but there is not a lot of money in that, unless you have an advanced degree, for instance, a masters in sociological stastical analysis, in which case, researchers under grants will hire you to analyze thier sociological data. In addition, criminology/sociology majors often provide a good foundation for law school if politic science does not interest you. I'm rambling, but the point is, it's interesting, [cont.]

Asked by Bathysphere - Fri Jun 27 13:11:09 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Anthropology is the study of human diversity around the world. Anthropologists look at cross-cultural differences in social institutions, cultural beliefs, and communication styles. They often seek to promote understanding between groups by "translating" each culture to the other, for instance by spelling out common, taken-for-granted assumptions. Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. Since human behavior is shaped by social factors, the subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to… [cont.]

A. Psychology litterally means "stufy of the mind" while sociology is "study of society". Psychology is more related to the individual is society, how they think feel and behave, and is seen as more of a 'science' or mathematical subject, whilst sociology is related to the way in which society is organised and how this effects the individual and is more of a humanities subject. For example if I was doing a research project on depression, if I was a psychologist I would ask questions about the persons self-esteem and a general scale of their happiness.However if I was a sciologist I would ask questions such as "what is it about society that makes them depressed?" like why is it that jobless people have higher depression rates? is it that they… [cont.]

For general career info: and can search 'social scientists', 'social workers', 'psychologists' or such.

If you do not get it you are fired. During this time you will also teach 2-3 courses per semester, serve on committees and supervise graduate research. You must be very strong in doing research.
