课程目录中的社会学

社会学领域组(我们的“部门”的名称)是一个动态的, 多样化的, 还有一群与众不同的教师, 学生, 和校友. 我们为自己的教学感到自豪, 关注学生的学习, developing ways of integrating 学生 in community 项目 and research experiences.

尽管我们的规模很小,但我们提供的课程范围很广! 了解更多推荐十大正规网赌网站我们专业的信息, 你需要修哪些课程才能获得社会学学士学位, and the kinds of courses you can take even if you decide not to major in sociology.

Most of our sociology courses are organized in two broad categories: foundation courses that are fundamental to the discipline of sociology (Foundations) and courses that address social issues and social policies (Special Topics). 课程 numbered over 100 are considered upper division courses and they have prerequisites or require the permission of the instructor [see individual course descriptions]. 顶点课程, 只对大四学生开放, are designed to allow 学生 to practice the craft of sociology by engaging in an original research project (quantitative, 定性, 和/或理论). Students will normally complete the research as part of the requirements of the Senior Seminar (199a) or a Senior Thesis (SOC 199B PZ).
