Sociology, as one of the social sciences, seeks to discover
the basic structure of human society, to identify those factors
which hold groups together or which change and weaken them,
and to know what conditions transform social life. The study
of sociology is broadly interested in linkages among individuals,
groups, institutions and society. Like any other basic science,
sociology is characterized by a systematic search for fundamental
knowledge of the nature of its subject matter. Sociology is
a profession which applies its knowledge and techniques to practical
problems in the every day world of individuals, groups, organizations
and government.
The Department of Sociology offers Bachelor of Arts and Master
of Arts degrees. Students majoring in sociology may be seeking
a liberal arts education with sociology as the academic base,
they may prepare for employment using their education immediately
upon graduation, or they may wish to pursue advanced studies
at the graduate level. Sociology majors are often found working
in community organizations, social services, government, the
justice system, research, business and industry, and education.
Special Degree Requirements
back to top
Refer to graduation requirements listed previously in the catalog.
See index.
The general sociology major requires a minimum of 33 sociology
credits. Students may choose an option in criminology or in
rural and environmental change. These options require 39 sociology
credits. All sociology majors must complete a 3-credit extra-departmental
requirement in computer science (does not count toward 33/39
credit minimum), a required core and four courses from the major
content list, in order to insure broad exposure to the field
of sociology. No more than 60 sociology credits may count for
graduation. The Upper-division Writing Expectation must be met
by successfully completing an upper-division writing course
from the approved list in the Academic Policies and Procedures
section of this catalog. In addition to meeting these departmental
requirements, students must meet all University-wide requirements,
as specified in the catalog. These include: completing 120 credits,
meeting the General Education requirements and taking 39 credits
of upper-division course work. See the Academic Policies and
Procedures section of this catalog for other requirements.
Required Course Work:
1) Extra-departmental requirement (3 credits):
-CS 171--Communicating Via Computers or
-CS 172--Introduction to Computer Modeling, or a higher-level
CS course.
2) Core Courses (12 credits):
-110S--Principles of Sociology
-201--Social Science Methods
-202--Social Statistics
-455--Classical Social Theory
3) Major Content--four courses, two of which must be numbered
300 or above, (12 credits):
-200--Social Stratification

Sociology 110S is a prerequisite for most courses numbered
200 and above. Additional prerequisites are listed in course
descriptions. Students who have not completed specified prerequisites
may enroll only with the instructor's consent. All courses to
be applied toward the major must be taken for a traditional
letter grade. Majors are expected to earn a "C" or
better in all core courses.
To earn 120 credits in four years, students must average 30
credits per year, or 15 credits per semester. Requirements for
general sociology majors allow considerable flexibility in choosing
courses. However, requirements for the criminology and rural
and environmental sociology options are more stringent.
General Sociology:
Those students interested in the general sociology major, must
take three electives in addition to the core skills and major
content requirements listed above. Students whose primary interest
is in a general sociology degree are urged to develop a plan
of study with their advisors. The following courses are available
for consideration: 120S, 130S, 140S, 212S, 235, 242S, 302, 304S,
308S, 310, 322, 330S, 332, 333, 334, 335, 340, 346, 370S, 381,
382, 386, 421, 424, 435, 438, 461, 462, 463, 465, 466, 470,
490, 493, 496 (see Research Experience/Internship following).
Criminology Option:
Criminology is an intriguing field of study which examines the
making of law, the nature and extent of crime and criminality,
and efforts to control crime. The option builds upon the required
course work in sociology and allows students to pursue extended
study of crime and the criminal justice system. In addition,
the option provides opportunity for practical experience in
the criminal justice system through internship placement. The
criminology option prepares students for employment in public
and private criminal justice agencies, as well as graduate study
in sociology, criminal justice, and law.
In addition to courses required of all sociology majors in the
core and content areas, students concentrating in criminology
must complete the following:
230S--Criminology or 330S--Juvenile Delinquency
235--Criminal Justice System
and any three of the following courses:
-332--Sociology of Law Enforcement
-333--Criminal Adjudication
-334--Sociology of Corrections
-335--Juvenile Justice System
-435--Sociology of Law
-438--Seminar in Crime and Deviance
Research Experience/Internship (see Research Experience/Internship
following)
Rural and Environmental Change Option:
Rural environments, residents and agencies are facing rapid
social, economic, demographic and political change. This option
develops analytical and practical skills for understanding rural
and environmental change globally and in the American West,
and its policy implications in such areas as rural health, welfare
and work; community development and assessment; native peoples
and natural resource management. An option in rural and environmental
change prepares students for employment with either a government,
private or non-profit agency concerned with the above topics
or for pursuing an advanced degree in sociology.
Requirements, in addition to courses in the core and content
areas, include:
346--Rural Sociology
470--Society and Environment
and any three of the following courses:
-320--Complex Organizations
-322--Sociology of Poverty
-340--The Community
-355S--Population and Human Ecology
-370S--Social Change and Global Development
-381--International Social and Environmental Change (variable
topics)
-382--Field Studies in International Social and Environmental
Change
-424--Social Forestry
-465--Technology and Social Change
-485--Political Sociology
Research Experience/Internship (see Research Experience/Internship
following)
Avanced Study
Research Experience/Internship:
Students wanting first-hand experience with sociological research
or seeking internship training within one of the options may
wish to consider the following as electives. Please note that
these are upper-division courses with substantial demands on
one's time. The internship (490), omnibus (493), and independent
study (496) all require consent of the instructor. Variable-credit
courses are intended to allow students to go beyond course work
in the topic area selected; they are not to be used as a substitute
for a course already in the curriculum.
456--Contemporary Theory
461--Qualitative Methods
462--Quantitative Methods
463--Social Data Analysis
466--Ethics in Social Research
490--Internship
493--Omnibus
496--Independent Study
Preparation for Graduate School:
Students who anticipate going to graduate school are encouraged
to take the following courses in addition to the major content
courses. While graduate school-bound students may wish to take
additional sociology credits as electives, it is advisable to
meet with an advisor to plan a rigorous program of study that
will best prepare them for advanced studies.
456--Contemporary Theory
461--Qualitative Methods
462--Quantitative Methods
463--Social Data Analysis
Sociology Honors Program: Sociology majors enrolled in the
University Honors Program are expected to meet these additional
requirements:
1) Each student must complete SOC 201 and 202 before
the end of the sophomore year, and SOC 455 before the end
of the junior year.
2) The student must enroll for an additional one or
two credits to accompany a particular course in order to examine
the course material in greater depth. Specific requirements
for the student's independent work will be arranged in consultation
with the instructor. Sociology 496 should be used when registering
for extra credits.
3) The student must complete a senior project involving
original research. Up to six credits may be earned under SOC
493. These credits are exempt from the 60 credit limit in
the major.
Teacher Preparation in Sociology
Major Teaching Field of Sociology: For an endorsement
in the major teaching field of Sociology, a student must complete
the requirements for the B.A. degree with a major in Sociology
