Catalog 2024-2025

SOC 480 Practice Experience

The practice experience provides students with supervised work experiences where they learn how to ethically and professionally apply sociological theories and methods under faculty supervision. Students will choose among four types of practice: 1) internship, 2) research project, 3) community service commitment, or 4) independent study for practice. Students will complete 160 practice hours total, meet biweekly with their faculty supervisor, apply sociology to their experiences through varied assessments, and submit a portfolio at the semester’s conclusion. Students who choose to practice in an internship or community service setting will also be supervised by members affiliated with their site.
