The Bachelor of Arts in Sociology program implements this vision through a course of studies that provides a solid foundation in sociological theory and research methods. That foundation alone produces graduates who will contribute to the production, interpretation, transmission, and application of knowledge generated from social research that is informed by economic, political, ecological, and sociocultural trends in the local and global arena.
Upon graduation, students must be analytical and critical thinkers who are able to:
Explain and apply sociological concepts and theories;
Apply research skills in designing, implementing, and assessing social programs and projects in academic, government, corporate, development and other settings
Analyze and address social problems and issues;
Communicate ideas effectively in relevant settings;
Practice professional and ethical standards of Sociology and the social sciences; and
In all these, create a vision of personal and structural transformation that is grounded in Ignatian spirituality and strongly oriented toward building an inclusive and sustainable society.
This program provides the Ateneo student majoring in fields other than Sociology the basic background and skills to undertake systematic social research and analyses. With these research and analytical skills, envisioned opportunities include work in fields requiring an understanding of social development, organizational cultures, and social transformation.
