The Penn Sociology Undergraduate Program seeks to provide students with an understanding of social structure and how individuals' experiences are related to that structure. Penn Sociology offers our top-ranked major, three minors, comprehensive advising, extensive interdisciplinary collaboration, and significant research and independent study opportunities. Our program fosters a community that provides space for our majors and minors to grow academically and professionally, contributing to the College of Arts & Science’s goal of “providing the best liberal arts education available at any research university in the world.”

Our major prepares students for careers in fields such as law, medicine and health care, marketing, education, scholarly and applied social research, social work, demography, journalism and media, management in the public and private sectors, administration, and government.
