Show DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Dello G. Dayton, Chairman The social sciences are concerned with the whole range of human history and human activities, from the origin of man to current problems in the field of international relations. It is the aim of the Division of Social Sciences to throw light on living in society. The Division provides general education for all students and special and professional education for those choosing majors in the area of the social sciences. It also provides a rich selection of courses for the pre-law student. The Division includes the following departments: Anthropology and Philosophy, History and Political Science, Orientation, Psychology, and Sociology. It offers majors in History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. Minors are offered in these same fields and, in addition, in Anthropology and Philosophy. A Composite Teaching Major of 60 quarter hours is also offered. Social Science courses which are taken to satisfy the Area Requirements cannot be used also for fulfilling the major and minor requirements. A "D" grade will not be acceptable in the Social Science courses which are used to satisfy the major and minor requirements. Students majoring or minoring in the Social Sciences who transfer from another institution and who intend to graduate from Weber State College will be required to take, in the case of the minor, at least one class, and in the case of the major, at least two classes at Weber State College. These classes must be taken during the four quarters immediately preceding graduation. Department of Anthropology and Philosophy Professor Jennings G. Olson, Head; Associate Professor Lawrence C. Evans; Assistant Professor Roydon O. Julander. ANTHROPOLOGY Anthropology courses are worthwhile for students majoring in other departments. Many students find a personal interest satisfied as well as professional, requirements filled through the study of various courses in anthropology. Virtually any student will be better able to understand himself, his cultural heritage, and some of the diverse peoples of the world through the study of anthropology. 249 |
