A graduate in sociology at Collegium Civitas is prepared to operate on an ever-changing labour market. With their comprehensive knowledge, they can easily adjust to meet employers’ expectations. A graduate in sociology will feel equally comfortable in a small-sized company and a giant corporation. They will be able to run their own business as well. They know how to ask questions and interpret answers – the skill that is important not only in the field of social and marketing research. The idea behind Collegium Civitas is that a graduate in sociology should understand the importance of civil society and social activity, which prompts them to engage and take interest in public matters. They can diagnose problems as well as design and implement strategies to solve them.

Definitions and quotes

Sociology
Sociology is the scientific study of society, including patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and culture. It is a social science that uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order, acceptance, and change or social evolution. Many sociologists aim to conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, while others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes. Subject matter ranges from the micro-sociology level of individual agency and interaction to the macro level of systems and the social structure.
Sociology
The social sciences are granted eternal youth because findings must be revisited.
Leonard Beeghley paraphrasing Max Weber in: The Structure of Social Stratification in the United States. 2008. p. 12. ISBN 1317343786.
Sociology
The second item in the liberal creed, after self-righteousness, is unaccountability. Liberals have invented whole college majors— psychology, sociology, women's studies— to prove that nothing is anybody's fault. No one is fond of taking responsibility for his actions, but consider how much you'd have to hate free will to come up with a political platform that advocates killing unborn babies but not convicted murderers. A callous pragmatist might favor abortion and capital punishment. A devout Christian would sanction neither. But it takes years of therapy to arrive at the liberal view.

Sociology
Good sociology is sociological work that produces meaningful descriptions of organizations and events, valid explanations of how they come about and persist, and realistic proposals for their improvement or removal.
