Sociology Focus Group 

  1. Let's spend a few minutes on your career goals. Briefly tell us what career you intend to pursue after graduation.
  2. What have you learned to prepare you for your career?
  3. What types of experiences have you had where you considered and used ideas from your courses and how you might be able to use sociological insights and knowledge to deal with your social circumstances?
  4. Pretend that you will serve as an advisor to a new student sociology major next year. Unfortunately, your mentorship must be contained in only one piece of advice. What one piece of advice would you give to a new student? Would you advise them about becoming involved in social organizations here on the campus, in the city, etc?
  5. We would like to know about your experiences with the curriculum, both positive and negative. Did you learn what you should have learned, do you think? Should there be other required courses in the program of study? Are there other things or courses you wish you had had a chance to take while here? Are there other things that you wish you had learned?
  6. Overall, what would you say are the best aspects of the program in sociology? What do you think is something that you would consider most needing changed about the sociology program?
