Sociology is the systematic study of human group behavior. It seeks
to understand the processes by which people build, maintain, and change
their relations with others. Sociology emerged in response to the problems
and needs of industrial life. As society has grown in size and complexity
so has the need for knowledge and skill in dealing with human relationships.
Providing students with the intellectual tools appropriate to the study
and understanding of the basic human condition is our central concern.
Topics studied include marriage and family, crime and delinquency, gender,
race and ethnic relations, social problems, social institutions and cross-cultural
studies.
The Department of Sociology at UW-Whitewater offers courses covering
a wide range of interests and specialties. The program is designed to give
the student a better understanding of the significant factors and processes
of modern life; to meet the needs of students preparing to teach in the
social science field; to prepare students for graduate work in sociology;
and to provide study useful for particular applied fields. Many students
regard sociology as especially valuable preparation for careers in social
work, teaching, law, and research and administration in government or corporations.
Faculty work closely with students in developing programs and career plans
and opportunities. They assist students in selecting an appropriate on-the-job
practicum experience to make the transition to a professional job on graduation.
Assistance extends to preparing for the job search and exploring the practical
applications of sociology.

The Criminal Justice Minor is an interdisciplinary field of study that
integrates career-development goals with a liberal arts curriculum. The
Minor consists primarily of social and behavioral science courses that
will enhance students' understanding of the nature and causes of criminal
and delinquent behavior and the operation of the criminal justice system
in the United States. It will help prepare students to pursue careers in
law enforcement (local, state, and federal), adult and juvenile probation
and parole, correctional counseling and group home work, private security,
and criminal justice research.
