No matter how personal our experiences are, they are influenced by social forces, forces that arise from the society of which we are a part; they exist outside of the individual. In this course, students become familiar with basic concepts of sociology and develop their sociological imagination - the ability to see the interplay between biography and history, individual and society; the ability to understand the connections between public issues and private troubles.

  • SOC 270 - Community Studies

    3 Cr.
    Contact Hours Per Week: 3 Lec.

    To study community is to study people living in and identifying with a particular place and to give special attention to the type, quality, and basis of their interaction. Such a broad definition includes much of the subject matter of sociology, so it is not surprising that community theory and research have played a major role in the development of American Sociology. Sociology has at its core a foundation for understanding community. Urbanization and urban growth have occurred more rapidly during the 19th and 20th centuries than in any other period. The globe is changing from a predominately rural world to one where the majority of us live in urban places. This is a survey course in that a broad perspective of community studies is covered. This includes recognizing the rural past, historical changes over time and place, and current trends through sociological theory and research.
