Evidence indicates that an undergraduate liberal arts training in sociology enhances skills and career opportunities in business and management. Moreover, business and commerce constitute the second largest career area for undergraduate sociology majors. I address two questions here: 1) What distinctive modes of thought are learned in undergraduate sociology? 2) How may they be taught so that they develop skills? Some answers are suggested by describing internship-seminar courses I have taught at Lehman College, CUNY, over the past decade and by drawing on the experiences of students in these internships.
