The program of concentration orients students planning
graduate work in sociology, and affords a broad and
valuable background to those interested in careers
in education, law, nursing, public service, government,
corporate enterprise, or criminal justice. Flexibility
in course offerings makes it possible to combine sociology
with other areas of study. As a second major or as
a minor field, sociology accommodates the student's
academic interests and career aspirations.
All sociology courses are open to students
wishing to fulfill the social science requirement
of the college
core curriculum. SOC 101 is a good choice to provide
a general background in sociology, and is required
for all sociology majors as well as those seeking
to develop
a minor or an interdisciplinary major. The undergraduate student who completes the sociology
major:
- Demonstrates knowledge of society, culture and
human groups
- Demonstrates the knowledge of methods
and skills of sociological research
- Produces a research
project
- Demonstrates an understanding of current
social problems
- Develops an awareness of a variety
of social relationships
