What You’ll Learn
As a Vermont State Sociology student, you’ll find several ways to focus on your interests:
Research: Each semester, you’ll be involved in research on topics relevant to the Vermont State community. Sociology majors recently examined student debt, reading habits and library needs, and themed housing.
Internships: Our students have had career-boosting internships at an animal shelter, wellness centers, and a wilderness therapy program, as well as at farms, schools, and mental health clinics.
Minors: If you want to fine-tune your career goals, the Sociology program offers minors in Sociology, Anthropology, and Women’s and Gender Studies.
The Vermont State Center for Social Justice and Trauma-Informed Care is an excellent way for students to interact with professionals in sociology and related fields and community members. Through workshops and conferences, you’ll have opportunities to build your network as you build your skills.
Study Abroad, Study Away
You can gain real-world experience outside Vermont in diverse ways. Our students have participated in hands-on programs in the American Southwest, engaged in research in Kenya and ecotourism in Martinique, and spent a semester in London, among other opportunities.
