Employer: Texas HHSC
The skills and knowledge I’ve acquired from the Department of Sociology, including research methods, data analysis, and program evaluation, are invaluable in my current role. The Applied Sociology Internship Program (B.S.) and Practicum (M.S) helped me secure a full-time position.
Director of Community Engagement
"As Director of Community Engagement for the San Antonio Humane Society, I interact on a daily basis with multiple groups of people from donors, to volunteers and the media. This program has taught me how to apply the skills I've learned to help change the current state of social life for the better."
Employer: Assistant Professor at Boise State University
My research interests lie at the nexus of criminology, critical race theory, and sociology of law. The courses offered in our program were vital in preparing for my pursuit of a PhD in sociology at Rice University. I loved my time in UAC and the support and camaraderie from the other students and professors alike. Can I come back?
