SOCI 3500 - Social Change and Social Movements

(3) Credit Hours
Prerequisite: ENGL 1102  and either SOCI 1101  , SOCI 1160  or consent of instructor
This course examines the role of social change in societal development. The focus of the course is on collective behavior and social movements. Collective behavior will be explored as a type of change in which the usual social conventions no longer guide social action and institutional patterns of behavior are bypassed as new norms develop. The examination of social movements will include those movements that have been important to American history and continue to influence change in a global context.
