Gallego, Coordinator Purpose: The Sociology Program at Weber State College serves to: (1) prepare major and minor students for teaching, social services, government, research and other careers; (2) provide preparation for the student going into graduate work; (3) provide general education for all students of the college. Education: A bachelor's degree in Sociology with a strong supportive minor provides excellent job training. However a master's degree is desirable for a career as a sociologist. Sociology students study groups which man forms in his association within the groups. Career Outlook: The placement of sociology majors varies according to the area of emphasis. Placement in secondary education is improving with more high schools teaching courses in sociology. Positions relating to general or applied sociology are rapidly expanding and students in these areas should have no trouble finding jobs. Related Careers: Social welfare, law, journalism, public administration, market research, city planning, gerontology and anthropology (see The Occupational Thesaurus, Vol. 1), public relations employment offices, hospital adminis-stration, public works, marriage counseling, foreign diplomatic relations, park services, advertising, census analysis, research, youth programs, corrections or rehabilitative institutions, etc. Program: Sociology MajorBachelor Degree I.
