B.A in Sociology (Research)

The B.A. Sociology (Research) degree offers not only the requirements of taught courses but also offers an opportunity for undergraduate students to write/present a research thesis. The entire program, including the final year thesis, will train and prepare students not only for a career in sociology or social anthropology but also give them the requisite skills to enter the professional fields of development, media, journalism, writing, or any other field of work that they may choose to pursue. The Sociology degree combines its theoretical curriculum and practical hands-on training with field visits, workshop style of teaching, and student-driven classroom discussions. The pedagogy cultivates an undergraduate student to be a reflexive and grounded individual with a deep and critical understanding of the world and our position in it.

Major

The Sociology major provides a solid foundation for students interested in careers in the social sciences, and a strong background in various professions in which the knowledge of societies is relevant.

The unique undergraduate curriculum enables students to integrate coursework across the Humanities and Social Sciences with the Natural Sciences, Engineering, and Technology Studies, Communication, and Business. Within this multidisciplinary framework, a Sociology Major at the University will train future scholars and professionals to be engaged and critical readers, complex thinkers and clear writers, and rigorous and creative social analysts. Our students will be well prepared to engage with a rapidly transforming India and its place in today's world. With guidance from their departmental advisors, students will design their program of study, combining basic academic training, core thematics, electives of their choice, a workshop in sources and research methods, and supervised, hands-on fieldwork culminating in a final-year thesis.

Minor

Undergraduate students majoring in other disciplines at the University can explore the fields of Sociology and Social Anthropology through a selection of courses offered as University-Wide Electives (UWEs) by the Department every semester. Students who want a more profound introduction to and understanding of the discipline, its core themes, analytical approaches, and methods are encouraged to pursue a Minor in Sociology. Students wishing to take a Minor in Sociology must complete six courses, of which at least three should be from the "Core themes in Sociology: 8 Foundational Courses" set.
