                                  Sociology Minor





             Add to the program description ending on page 141 (following

        Program D-Gerontology) the following:  



             Minor in Sociology 



                  The minor in sociology will require the student to

             complete 21 hours in sociology which include Sociology

             100, 225, and 15 hours in sociology which will complement

             the work the student has done in his or her major

             program.  The 15 hours should be chosen in consultation

             with a member of the sociology staff, drawing from model

             programs that would be designed for students with

             particular majors.  At least 6 semester hours of the

             latter must be at the 300-400 level which shall be taken

             at UNC-Asheville.  



        Rationale:  



        The minor is conceived as a compliment to the work of students

        majoring in such fields as Psychology, Communications, Literature,

        and Management, as well as Philosophy, History, Political Science,

        and Economics.  Sociology offers such a broad range of content

        areas that there is ample leeway for students to broaden their

        substantive knowledge in areas relevant to their interests.
