1998 Major: Sociology
"Two wonderful professors at Duke - Dr. Debbie Gold and Dr. Linda George - sparked my lifelong interest in the ways social factors influence health outcomes. I was also able to get involved in research as an undergrad, which laid the foundation for my subsequent studies."
"I would recommend that students keep an open mind for the types of careers they might have. Sociology gives you a perspective, and research skills, that are valuable in almost every industry. Don't be afraid to reach out to alumni (or others) for informational interviews to learn more about different jobs."
