Description
Established: 1960
Abolished: 1965
Location: Provo, Utah (1960-1965)
Functions
Sociology is one of the social sciences which studies human behavior. Specifically, sociology studies how behavior is affected by the fact that men interact with one another, live in groups, and develop social systems, institutions, roles, statuses, and culture. The department provides curriculum which has relevance for those planning careers of social work, teaching, counseling, research, professional Scouting, Red Cross work, community planning, and government service.
A major in Anthropology will provide a sound basis for graduate work leading to professional research and teaching. This major also constitutes a challenging approach to liberal education for those not planning advanced work. It also qualifies one for positions in many areas where a social science background is required.
Assets and Administrative Structure
The department was administered by a department chair, under the direction of the college dean.
