Revised, Fall 1983BULLETIN copy

The Department of Sociology offers a program that involves studentsin the study of social interaction. Students are trained both in a basicunderstanding of social structure and processes and in the systematicstudy of social groups and social institutions.

Faculty teach and conduct research in the broad areas of socialdeviance, social stratification, social psychology, and social organiza-tion. Some areas of specialization are personality and culture, thechanging family, alcohol and drug abuse, social deviance, criminology,health care systems, systems research, industrial organizations, nationaldevelopment and underdevelopment, race and ethnic relations, immigration,labor studies, and social inequality. The Department also provides ri-gorous training in methods of research, the history of social theory, andthe analysis of social organization.

A Sociology major provides a student with a focus for the broad,liberal arts education that is the hallmark of an educated person. Inaddition, a Sociology major provides a student with preparation inanalytic thinking, the history of social thought, a sense of society,methods of social research, and data analysis. These skills constitutea sound grounding for many professional and career choices. Many Socio-logy majors go on to professional schools in law, business, or medicine.Others choose advanced training in social work, journalism, public policy,or education. Still others decide to pursue graduate training in Socio-logy leading to the Ph.D. degree, with academic or non-academic employmentin mind. Many majors choose careers in local, state, or federal civilservice agencies, with either domestic or international concerns. Thus,like all broad liberal arts majors, Sociology major is a flexible andversatile basis for a wide variety of future career choices.

For the interested student, two booklets are available in theSociology Department. Everett K. Wilson and Hanan Selvin's Why StudySociology? A Note to Undergraduates will help students understand thequest for knowledge and values that Sociology entails. The AmericanSociological Association's Careers in Sociology will help studentsconsider Sociology's practical uses.

The major in Sociology requires completion of 18 units of advancedcoursework (at the 300 or 400 level) within a total of 24 units. Depart-ment requirements call for the completion of one of the two introductorycourses: either Sociology 105 B (Introduction to Sociology) or Sociology106 B (Social Problems and Social Issues). In addition, students major-ing in Sociology are required to take one theory course--Sociology 370(Introduction to the History of Social Theory)--and to choose one of twocourses in methods--Sociology 377 (Strategies for Social Research) orSociology 441 (Social Statistics I).

Page 30: College of Arts and Sciences - Faculty Meetingsfacultyminutes.artsci.wustl.edu/files/facultyminutes/1983Sep30.pdf · College of Arts and Sciences WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST LOUIS

Students are also asked to take one course from 3 of the 4 broadareas of concentration: Social Inequality, Social Organization, DeviantBehavior, Social Psychology. From each area, students may choose anycourse that they wish; the student's advisor will help with these choices.A list of the courses that fall under these four areas follows.

299 B(Q) Rich Nations and Poor Nations: The U.S. in a DevelopingWorld.

The Department encourages students with excellent records to pursuethe Honors Thesis, an original piece of research undertaken under theguidance of a faCUlty member. During their senior year, students whowish to receive a degree with departmental honors may register for upto 6 units of credit (Sociology 497, 49B) that will culminate in thewriting of a Senior Honors Thesis. The Honors Thesis is both anoriginal piece of research and a polished essay that can serve toaccompany applications for graduate study and emploYment. In addition,the designation of Latin honors (cum laude, magna cum laude, summacum laude) is a mark of academic excellence. Lastly, to engage inresearch--the discovery and production of new knowledge--is intrinsi-cally rewarding.
