Education
The Sociology program at the University of California, San Diego is designed to prepare students for two main goals: to contribute to the development of knowledge about societies and thereby advance the discipline of sociology; and to teach sociology at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
The majority of graduates from the program find teaching and research positions in colleges and universities; many also work in nonacademic research and social policy positions.
