194 Sociology & Anthropology Anthropology Coordinator: Rosemary Conover-Phillips Anthropology is a synthesizing discipline which focuses on humans as bearers of culture and attempts to understand and order the variety of human behavior patterns in a holistic framework. It embraces not only contemporary ethnic groups and their problems, but also the historic and prehistoric past on a worldwide basis. Fields include archaeology, linguistics, ethnology, physical and social Anthropology. Students majoring in areas where the primary focus is on humans, particularly the Social Sciences and the Humanities, will find Anthropology, with its strong emphasis on cultural integration, an important and stimulating discipline for a minor.

Gallego, Louise Lintz, W. Roy VanOrman. Purpose Gerontology is the multi-disciplinary study of the processes of aging from conception to death and the problems associated with aging and the aged in society (see Occupational Thesaurus, Vol. I). Individuals working in the field of aging need a broad range of knowledge that transcends a single academic discipline. The program at Weber State College is designed to: (a) provide preparation for employment in the aging network, (b) provide continuing education for job enrichment and career development, (c) provide general education, (d) provide preparation for students going to graduate schools. Education Students may obtain either a major or minor or a non-degree emphasis in gerontology. The Gerontology courses are designed to give the student a special emphasis in aging and/or provide supplemental and enrichment background to other subject areas. Students who successfully complete the prescribed course work are certified through Weber State College. Trainees may receive two types of certificates: (1) certification in gerontology and (2) certification of completion. (See Emphasis of requirements below.) Career Outlook Within the aging network the need continues for qualified trained personnel at all occupational levels. The professional level would include supervisory, administrative, executive leadership, planning and teaching. The service provider level would include support personnel for aging programs, i.e., planning, implementation and delivery of service programs. In recent years occupational opportunities have greatly expanded due to the increased number of elderly people and the agencies serving the elderly in the United States. Trainees and graduates of the program are cur-
