Students receive a fuller understanding of sociology when their teacher is both a conveyor of existing knowledge in the field and a scholar involved in the creation of new knowledge (and) learn about research most effectively when they are actually involved in doing it themselves.
Practicum Opportunities
In addition to internships, students have opportunities to learn and work in the field through a practicum. Offered in sociology, criminology and anthropology, these classes get students into the community either through meeting with various groups, mentoring, research, volunteering or some other kind of joint activity.
A practicum opportunity through the Sociology & Criminology Department offers a combination of traditional learning strategies coupled with several hours a week of community-based learning in the field, usually working in a social service or criminal justice agency.
