The Sociology program at Weber State College serves the following purposes: 1. To provide an adequate program for the sociology major or minor. 2. To provide substantial preparation for the student going into graduate social work or other graduate activity. 3. To provide worthwhile general education for all students of the College. 4. To prepare a student for teaching, social services, government, and other careers. Sociology Major and/or Teaching Major—Students planning to obtain a Bachelor of Arts (Bachelor of Science) degree with a departmental or teaching major in sociology are required to have at least 45 hours of satisfactory work in sociology including Sociology 1, 18 or 118, 20, 30, 50, 105 or 106, 160 or 165 and 199. Majors are encouraged to take electives that will give breadth and depth to their education. (See listing of allied courses for suggestions.) Good scholarship is essential to compete for entry into graduate schools and for career employment. A "D" grade in sociology is not acceptable for majors or minors. Transfer students must have a grade point average of 2.25 to enter as a sociology major. Entering freshmen must have an A. C. T. composite score of 20.00.

Social Service Sequence: (Sociology Major)—The increasing demand for personnel in the Social Services is far exceeding the supply of graduate Social Workers and other professionally trained personnel. Weber State College has joined with more than 150 other undergraduate programs and the Council on Social Work Education to help meet this critical need of society. The Social Service Sequence offered at Weber State College is designed to: (1) Prepare students for graduate Social Work education; (2) Provide a liberal, interdisciplinary education for students who plan to secure employment in the social services; and, (3) To provide a liberal educational experience to help the student in his understanding of and adjustment to living in a democratic society with all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The optimum preparation for students who are planning graduate Social Work Education or securing employment in the Social Services is a broad liberal arts education. Because 194 195 |
