Introduction
Sociology and social work studies are concerned with the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Subject matter ranges from the immediate family to the hostile mob, from crime to religion, and from the divisions of race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture.
The mission of the Sociology and Social Work Department is:
Prepare majors to incorporate Christian service into their careers and personal lives.
Help General Education students gain an appreciation for the social and cultural influences affecting them, their families and society.
Prepare majors for advanced study and careers in the fields of sociology, social work, criminology, and anthropology.
Develop knowledge and skills related to successful human interaction and function pertaining to society, culture, the social environment, and social justice.
|
Career Opportunities
A degree in sociology prepares students for higher education with eventual careers in teaching, organizational development, or research. Opportunities also exist in the military and in private security. A social work degree will prepare students planning for careers as case workers for juvenile delinquents, mental health clients or children's services. The department also offers a limited number of courses in anthropology, the study of humankind. These courses are designed to expand the students' understanding of themselves in relation to other cultures and ideas.
|
Criminology
Criminology is an area of study within Sociology; no degree is offered. However, students who choose to take Soc 330 and 443 and three other courses related to criminology will receive a certificate from the department.
|
Pre-Law
Sociology or Criminology are choices for students desiring to take the LSAT (Law School Aptitude Test) and apply for law school. Students may choose other majors such as English, History, Accounting, Business, etc.
|
Bachelor's Social Work Program Mission
The mission of the BYU-Idaho Social Work Program is to support the overall mission of BYU-Idaho and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and to help students develop knowledge to become competent and effective communicators and professional social workers for generalist social work practice and Christian service with individuals, groups, families, communities, and society.
To help students of diverse interest and abilities to use and integrate social work historically grounded purposes, philosophy, knowledge, values, supervision, consultation, and skills for leadership in the evaluation and development of social policy, social service delivery systems, professional employment, and for their roles as citizens and parents. To promote economic and social justice and prepare graduates to work within the context of their clients' specific cultures.
|
Social Work Accreditation
The Baccalaureate Social Work program at BYU-Idaho is in the process of seeking accreditation through the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The Social Work program is in the second year of candidacy with CSWE. This is a major step in the accreditation process. Students should be aware that there are some inherent risks in attending a non-accredited baccalaureate social work (BSW) program, relative to transfer or eventual social work licensing. The Social Work program at BYU-Idaho, like many programs on campus, is in the transitional process. Although we have not yet received full accreditation, we graduated our first class in April 2005 (a program usually remains in candidacy status for one to three year), until it attains initial accreditation. If CSWE initial accreditation is granted it automatically covers those graduating classes of students who were admitted during or after the academic year the program was granted candidacy. (Please see a Social Work advisor if you feel you need more information or details).
|
Social Work Application Process
Only students accepted into the Social Work Program are Social Work majors.
Freshmen and Sophomore students choose a major of their choice (e.g. usually General Education, Sociology, or some other social science discipline). Students fulfill G.E. and Social Work prerequisite course work during their Freshmen and Sophomore years and make application to the program during the second semester of their Sophomore year.
Application will be required for admission to the BSW Program; the following will be required:
Second semester Sophomore standing, completion of most general education requirements, cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher, a statement of psychological well-being, three letters of reference, and a personal autobiography (two pages or less). In addition the following prerequisite course work: Social Work 260, Sociology 111 or 112 with grades of B range or better, Human Biology Bio 230 or 264, Statistics 221, Psychology 111 with grades of C range or better. Please access the application online at Department of Sociology and Social Work
