The Sociology Department recently changed a majority of the course
numbers as well as course designations. Where course numbers changed, a
notation is made of the previous number of the course. Course
designations are Introductory, Theory, Methods, Lower Division and Upper
Division.
The curriculum of the Department of Sociology includes
courses on self and identity; race, class, and gender relations; family; law;
social movements; political sociology; theory; international studies, social
change, survey research methods, and data analysis.
Computer-aided instruction is a component of several courses, including
Sociology 2, and Sociology 10. Other courses train students to design and
conduct surveys, perform content analysis of cultural products (such as
television programs, film or advertisements), and conduct field observations
and sociological experiments.
In addition to these offerings, the Department frequently offers special
topic courses, as well as one-time and regular seminars. The offerings are
designed to respond to particular interests of students and faculty, including
visiting sociologists, and provide opportunities to develop and experiment with
new courses. It is thus important to check our course listings periodically.
There may be a one-time offering that ideally suits your interests.
Students may also elect, upon approval of the supervising professor, an
independent study on a topic of their choice.
NOTE: The syllabi posted here may not be current
and cannot substitute for material distributed to a specific class. Under no
circumstances should these syllabi be used by students seeking information
about assignments in a course in which they are currently enrolled. Even if the
syllabus appears to be in use, it cannot be assumed to be up-to-date. Rather,
the syllabi posted here are intended to be used for broad informational
purposes--to assist students as they plan their academic programs or to guide
them to readings on topics they may find interesting. We hope you find them
useful!
