课程介绍：
This program offers a cutting edge undergraduate concentration for people interested in the social dimensions of politics, economics, history, psychology, and demography. The graduates are admitted to the leading medical, law and business schools. They take a variety of jobs from Wall Street to social activism. Sociologists pursue many different kinds of careers. They work with survey firms (public opinion polling, the census bureau, test marketing) and public health organizations, they are critical contributors to non-profit organizations that advocate for the disadvantaged or provide services for the needy. Professional schools (law, medicine, business, and government) are anxious to attract sociologists because they have a broad understanding of the social order and research skills (interviewing, participant observation, survey data analysis, etc.) that are valuable in these fields. A majority (54 per cent) work in the private for-profit sector, but a significant minority (30 per cent) work in non-profit organizations, including educational institutions. Smaller numbers work in government and other settings. About 18 per cent work in education and communications and media; 16 per cent in finance, insurance, and real estate; and 13 per cent in law. Other fields of work include public policy, medicine, and manufacturing. A large majority obtain advanced degrees after graduating from Princeton. Of those who had been out of Princeton for at least six years, 68 per cent had received advanced degrees. Most common were law degrees. There are also quite a few M.B.A.s, M.D.s and Ph.D.s among the graduates.
