BACHELOR OF ARTS
MAJOR IN SOCIOLOGY
|
|
| |
| Sociology is the study of social life and the social causes
and consequences of human behavior. A major in Sociology complements many
career paths by developing students' understanding of the nature of society
and social relationships as these affect them in their personal and professional
lives. The general objectives of this major are to provide students with:
1) An understanding of the causes and consequences of social inequality,
including those or race, gender, sexuality, and social class, 2) An understanding
of the forces of social change and social stability, and 3) An array of
job skills applicable to a wide variety of labor force positions. |
Following is one suggested four-year degree plan.
Students are encouraged to see their advisor each semester for help
with program decisions and enrollment. Students are responsible
for reviewing the Program of Study Requirements. |

A Core Curriculum and Optional Course Information. |
