The BA in Sociology at National People College follows TU curriculum standards and introduces learners to social structure, culture, change, and research practice.
The course helps students read sociological texts, build concepts step by step, and conduct small studies with basic tools.
It is a suitable base for those considering later study in sociology, anthropology, development, media research, or public policy support.

Faculty guide students through reading plans, terminology lists, and weekly Q&A. The library holds key TU texts and journals. Students perform mini-surveys or interviews with a small sample and learn to present findings using clear tables and short narratives.
Internal assessment covers assignments, presentations, and class tests; final evaluation follows TU examinations.
The college hosts talks by researchers and development workers to connect classroom topics with ongoing social issues in municipalities and rural wards.
Graduates work as research assistants, field investigators, program support staff in NGOs/INGOs, media content support, or community outreach workers.
Many pursue MA in Sociology or related graduate tracks. The degree strengthens reading discipline, note-making, and data handling—skills needed for roles that demand careful writing and observation.
