Program & Course Outcome

Course Outcomes in Sociology:
By the time of graduation, sociology majors should be able to;

*Explain the sociological perspective, broadly defined; use sociological theory to explain social problems and issues; make theoretically-informed recommendations to address current social problems; and demonstrate the utility of the sociological perspective for their lives.

*Demonstrate the ability to interpret, locate, evaluate, generate, and use sociologically relevant data to test hypotheses and draw evidence –based conclusions.
*Integrate sociological theory, research and data in order to assess various explanations of social phenomena and to assess social policy.

Our degree programs are designed to produce graduates who can engage the world thoughtfully, critically, and creatively. Our hope is that the coursework we require will not only provide a solid base of anthropological or sociological knowledge and a set of skills to collect and evaluate information, but also that our assignments, readings and classroom discussions will foster a sense of engagement as citizens committed to making the world more human and livable.More specifically, each of our programs has articulated a set of learning outcomes for students. These outcomes are the basis for our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our courses and our curricula.

*Will develop an ability to use social scientific research methods to address sociological questions.
