2013 Major: Sociology; minor in Chemistry
"A degree from Duke sociology allowed me to learn about health disparities and the underpinning societal factors that influence them. Duke’s sociology department trained me to analyze health care issues with a population and systems-level point of view, which is essential in public health practice. Furthermore, the required internship helped me expand my professional network and afforded me awesome, hands-on experience that made graduate school and job applications even more competitive.”
"Remain open-minded about career paths. Leverage the required internship to explore a career path that may seem atypical. You can find different aspects of sociology in every industry- especially business, healthcare, and technology (my favorites!)."
