SOCIOLOGY Description The Sociology program at Weber State College serves three primary purposes: 1) to prepare both majors and minors for careers in teaching, social services, government, business, and research; 2) to provide adequate preparation for students going on to graduate programs; and, 3) to provide meaningful general education courses for all students of the college. Education In Sociology, a bachelor's degree is an entry level degree into a number of occupations. But for a career as a sociologist, a master's degree or a PhD. is usually either desirable or required. Undergraduate training in Sociology is often considered to be a good preparation for postgraduate education in a number of more specialized fields (such as law, business, and even medicine).
