Why Study Sociology at Northwestern?
![The Arch in autumn](images/home-page/arch-autumn-455x255.jpg)
As the broadest of all of the social sciences, Sociology provides a wide range of practical and marketable skills, including critical analysis, statistical methods, theory, and field research.
Our majors have gone on to work in law, medicine and public health, consulting, finance, non-profit and public administration, social network research, culture, and the arts.
