| The Sociology Department recently held a graduation
ceremony for all of our majors in conjunction with the
university-wide graduation ceremony. It was a great pleasure
to honor all of our 2002 graduates. Here are links to a couple
of photos from that event:

In Spring 1998, the Department
surveyed its  students
and alumni for its program review, a mandatory evaluation conducted
by all CSULA departments every five years. Here are the highlights
of some of the findings based on the responses of 91 baccalaureate
alumni (1992-97) who have completed the questionnaire survey. |

What Our Alumni Do After Graduation
|
 Teaching
(19.8%) and business related occupations (18.7%) are the two most
common careers for our graduates, followed by social services (15.4%),
legal services (8.8%), law enforcement (5.5%), and health services
(3.3%). |

And Some Went on For Advanced
Study
|
 About
half of our BA alumni went on for post-baccalaureate study after graduation.
The fields of advanced study in descending order of frequency are:
Education (14.3%), Sociology (7.7%), Social Work (6.6%), Law (5.5%),
Psychology (4.4%), and health (1.1%). About 7% of the respondents
are in various fields too few to be classified into any categories. |

What Our Alumni Say About the
Strengths of the Department

 Our
graduates (67%) are most likely to mention the faculty as the strength
of the Department. About 33% mentioned our academic program. Staff
