Whats the difference between a social work degree and a degree in sociology??

Question:

Answers:
Sociology is the STUDY of society, social problems, social systems, social phenomenon, social processes, basically it is the attempt to understand current social events (which is how it differers from anthropology). Sociology can be more applied at the graduate level).

Though you did not ask: Psychology is the STUDY of individual intrapsychic phenomenon, the study of interpersonal dynamics, intrapersonal development, basically anything mental, cognitive, developmental, and behavioral within the individual (psychology does not become applied until the graduate level). Psychology can also look at family and group though this is usually not a primary concern.

Social work is the STUDY and PRACTICE with individual, family, group, community and organizational phenomenons, dynamics, problems and the interaction between the system. It is about not just helping individuals navigate systems, but also changing the systems to better serve people.

DA
Sociology will deal more with the theory and concepts of human behavior and societal issues. Social work is more of a "practical" degree that will revolve more around working with people.
