Overview
Courses in Sociology are designed to meet the intellectual
and career interests of students who are concerned about what is happening in
their society and in their daily personal interaction with other people. The
courses are designed to help the student interested in social work, human
services, industrial organization, urban planning, etc., to attain a
pre-professional orientation to these fields.
Students interested in Urban Planning are advised to
include SOC 116, 224, 231 and 232 in their electives; for Social Work, SOC 234,
115, 116, 118 and 224; for Medical Services/ Administration, SOC 216, GERO 212,
216, 218 and 230; for Human Resources/Administration, SOC 226, 227 and 228.
The Department of Sociology/Criminal Justice also
administers the
Criminal Justice major.
