SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Dean: Richard Sadler Location: Social Science Building, Room 272 Telephone: 626-6232 The School of Social Sciences provides several avenues to academic, professional, and vocational competence. Besides specific courses preparing students for a broad variety of occupational categories, General Education classes furnish an extensive breadth of knowledge and a keen appreciation for moral, intellectual, and aesthetic values. The School functions in close harmony with other academic units across campus. Programs of the School are guided by the following objectives: 1. To provide ordered and meaningful inquiry into the Social Sciences as a critical element of education for life. 2. To offer at the undergraduate level appropriate specialized and professional instruction (majors and minors) in the disciplines administered wtthin the School and to aid in the preparation of teachers. 3. To encourage research both by students and faculty, especially in those areas enabling students to become more effective members of society. 4. To enrich the intellectual and cultural climate of the College and the community it serves. Although stressing breadth of education, curricula of the School afford enough specialization and career education to prepare students for enrollment in professional schools and graduate programs or for participation in various occupational classifications immediately upon graduation. Students completing baccalaureate programs in the School will be granted either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree. Students may take departmental majors and minors in the following fields: Majors Criminal Justice Gerontology (Center on Aging) History* Political Science* Psychology* Sociology* Social Science Composite** Social Work ♦Teaching majors and minors are also available. ♦♦Teaching major only. 150 Minors Aerospace Studies Anthropology Asian Studies Criminal Justice Gerontology History* Latin American Studies Legal Studies Military Science Naval Science Philosophy Political Science* Psychology* Sociology* CENTER ON AGING Director: Jerry H. Borup Location: Social Science Building, Room 136 Telephone: 626-6243 Professors: Jerry H. Borup, Daniel T. Gallego; Associate Professors: W. Roy Van Orman, S. Craig Campbell; Assistant Professor: Louise P. Lintz. 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. 1). 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.) PROGRAM: GERONTOLOGY MAJOR-BACHELOR DEGREE General Requirements: • Specific course requirements of the college (see index). • Bachelor Degree General Education requirements (see index). • A minor is required. • Gerontology majors must have a C or better in major courses and an overall GPA of 2.25 in their major. Gerontology majors must have an overall GPA of 2.00 or C. • 183 total hours are required for this degree. Sixty of the 183 total hours must be upper division (courses numbered 300 and above). Specific Requirements: • Majors must take a minimum of 46 credit hours of Gerontology or related courses. • Gerontology course requirements: • Geront 101 (5), 265 (3), 332 (3), 422 (3), 482 (6), 499 (2); • Trainees must demonstrate skills in statistics and research by completing the following or an approved equivalent course: Geront 266 (4), 360 (4); Requirements continued on next page Student Services Allied Health Sciences 151
