Jill M. Belsky, Chair
Sociology offers a perspective--a way to view the world--that examines
the social contexts in which people live. A sociological perspective
enables us to grasp connections among individuals, their communities
and the broader society. It facilitates understanding of complex social
processes and problems, and can offer insights into how to improve
social welfare. At The University of Montana-Missoula, the Sociology
faculty, graduate students and undergraduates learn about the sociological
perspective through coursework on a variety of theoretical and methodological
approaches, and topics that engage social issues in our own Rocky
Mountain region to places all around the globe.
The Department of Sociology offers Bachelor of Arts and Master of
Arts degrees. In addition to a common core of sociology classes, students
at both levels can choose among three emphases: general sociology,
criminology, and rural and environmental change. These emphases provide
additional focus and expertise. Sociology majors work in community
organizations, social services, government, the justice system, research,
business and industry, and education.
Special Degree Requirements
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 including the Upper-division
Writing Proficiency Assessment, and taking 39 credits of upper-division
course work. See the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this
catalog for other requirements.

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
-210S--Social Psychology
-220S--Race, Gender and Class
-230S--Criminology
-250S--Social Change
-270--Introduction to Rural and Environmental Change

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, 306S, 308S, 310, 322, 330S,
332, 333, 334, 335, 340, 342, 346, 355S, 370S, 381, 382, 386, 421,
424, 435, 438, 465, 466, 470, 490, 493, 496.
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
Rural and Environmental
Change Option: back to top
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

and SOC 455 before the end of the junior year.
