The Sociology Program at Weber State College serves to: (1) provide an adequate program for the Sociology major or minor; (2) provide preparation for the student going into graduate work: (3) provide general education for all students of the college; (4) prepare a student for teaching, social services, government and other careers. Good scholarship is essential for sociology graduates if they are to favorably compete in graduate school and procure employment. To be admitted as a Sociology major, an incoming freshman must have a predicted grade point average of 2.25. (See Admission section for means of predicting.) All other students must demonstrate their ability to successfully matriculate by achieving an overall grade point average of 2.25. Sociology Majors—Students majoring in Sociology have two options open to them. They may pursue either (1) Sociology major with Area Concentration, or (2) Sociology major with a Social Work Concentration. In both options the students are majoring in Sociology but pursuing different areas of concentration. Thus, all Sociology majors without exception, must take a Sociology core comprised of the following courses: 101, 250, 360, 406, 465 and 499. In addition, students must also take those courses specified under their selected option. The number of hours required of a student in order to graduate with a major in Sociology depends upon the option which he chooses to pursue.
