SOC 101 - The Sociological Imagination

Upper Division

Prerequisites
All upper-division courses have a prerequisite of SOC 002, or SOC 004, or the consent of the instructor.

This course will reinforce and expand upon many of the concepts you have been introduced to in Introduction to Sociology and Social Problems. In this course we will explore the basic theoretical perspectives within sociology, the use of theory in sociological research, the logic of sociological research and an introduction to a variety of methodological approaches used by sociologists. This course will provide students with a solid base of knowledge which will serve them well in other upper division sociology courses-the Sociological Theory and Sociological Research Methods courses in particular. It is suggested that students have sophomore standing to take this course.
