Poe, Michael A. Toth; Assistant Professors, Rex R. Ashdown, Donald R. Carpenter, L. Kay Gillespie, Robert B. Heffernan, Rosemary Conover Phillips. The Sociology program at Weber State provides students with two options. SOCIOLOGY MAJOR WITH SOCIOLOGY AREA CONCENTRATION OR TEACHING MAJOR (Option I) Daniel T. Gallego, Coordinator This option is for those students who have a primary interest in Sociology. The major goals of this option are two fold: (1) to prepare the student to enter graduate school in Sociology, and/or (2) to prepare the student with those skills necessary to enter the occupational world. (In the past most jobs in the area of Sociology were for those who obtained a master's or doctor's degree. However, in recent years, a wide range of jobs has become available in government and business for students with a bachelor's degree.) SOCIOLOGY-SOCIAL WORK CONCENTRATION (Option II) Raymond H. Clark, Coordinator This option is designed to (1) prepare the student for a beginning level of competence for practice in the field of Social Work, (2) prepare the student for graduate Social Work Education, (3) provide a liberal interdisciplinary experience to help the student in his understanding of and adjustment to living in a democratic society, and (4) provide continuing educational opportunities for the bachelor degree and paraprofessional social work practitioner. In 1973, the Utah State Legislature enac'.ed a Social Work licensing law in order to protect the public by setting standards for qualifications, training and experience. This law requires that all persons who engage in the practice of Social Work be a graduate of an accredited Social Work Program and be licensed by the State of Utah. The Social Work Program at Weber State College is accredited by the National Council on Social Work Education and recognized by the State of Utah as a qualified educational program designed to prepare studen's for practice in the field of Social Work. 231 |
