The American Sociological Association claims that students with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology have a competitive advantage over other liberal arts students pursuing entry-level career positions. At the same time, the American Psychological Association has concrete evidence that students with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology secure jobs in government, business, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations. Both sociology and psychology have proven to be beneficial backgrounds for professionals interested in organizational management, but which is best?
What is Behavioral Science?
Sociology and psychology fall into the field of behavioral science. Behavioral science studies communication and decision-making processes in social systems. In addition to sociology and psychology, behavioral science includes disciplines like psychobiology, cognitive organization theory, management science, organizational behavior, and operations research. For a student having a difficult time deciding between sociology and psychology as a major, a behavioral science degree could be the perfect compromise.
Uses for Behavioral Science in the Professional World
A behavioral science degree can be particularly useful for the student interested in entering organizational management. Organizations today are in need of employees who understand the complex workings of the human mind and the dynamics of social interactions within the workplace. A professional with a behavioral science degree is particularly suited to understand organizational behavior management. He or she can dig into the messy details of the human factors that make an organization run successfully.
