Sociology enables us to understand the structure and dynamics of society, and their intricate connections to patterns of human behavior and individual life changes. It examines the ways in which the forms of social structure -- groups, organizations, communities, social categories (such as class, sex, age, or race), and various social institutions (such as kinship, economic, political, or religious) affect human attitudes, actions, and opportunities. The discipline also explores how both individuals and collectivities construct, maintain, and alter social organization in various ways. Sociology asks about the sources and consequences of change in social arrangements and institutions, and about the satisfactions and difficulties of planning, accomplishing, and adapting to such change. Areas studied in examining social dynamics include: culture, values, socialization, cooperation, conflict, power, exchange, inequality, deviance, social control, violence, order and social change.

कार्यक्रमका खाकाहरू

The Modified Major in Sociology consists of twelve courses, to be selected as follows: Prerequisite course: Sociology 1 or 2. One theory course: Sociology 15 or 16. One methods course: Sociology 10 or 11. With approval of the chair, a major may substitute a statistical analysis course offered by another social science department or program. Five additional Sociology courses numbered 10 or higher. (Plus four courses in another department). Students must take three Lower Division courses (numbered 20-49), one Upper Division course (numbered 50-80) and one Culminating Experience course (see below) An Upper Division course may be substituted for a Lower Division course. Majors are encouraged to identify an area of concentration within Sociology. Four courses in another department, or in a concentrated area of study (from more than one department), approved by the department chair. Modified majors must satisfy the culminating experience requirement by successfully completing any one of the following three options: Senior Independent Study Project (Sociology 90), The Sociological Imagination (Sociology 91), or Honors Thesis (Sociology 98). Because only one term of Sociology 98 counts as one of the five additional courses numbered 10 or higher that are required for completion of the modified major, taking a second term of Sociology 98 means that Honor students will typically take at least 9 course credits in Sociology.
