Hi Esha, Sociology is the study of social life, social relations, social change and the social causes and consequences of human behaviour. BA in sociology gives a general background for a broad range of jobs. Most businesses expect the applicant to possess good analytical, writing and oral skills and to be educable. They do not usually assume a major in a particular subject. Many employers prefer liberal arts majors because they have been well-trained in the basics and because their broad education makes them flexible and adaptable to changing conditions.
