generally before the second semester of
the junior year. Tier One courses are all
prerequisites for Tier Two. Upper division
electives, however, may be taken in any
sequence.
2. Students majoring in sociology are
permitted to pass the Upper-Division
Writing Examination (UDWE) in lieu
of taking SOC 130W/WS, thus having
to complete only three courses for 9
units in Tier One. If the student requests
1 unit of ENGL 100W for passing the
UDWE, that unit will be applied to the
overall elective unit total for the B.A.
3. CR/NC grading is not permitted in the
sociology major, except for courses of-fered
only under CR/NC grading.
4. General Education and elective units may
be used toward a double major or minor

chair, program coordinator, or faculty
adviser for further information.

satisfy the General Education requirements
for majors in the department.
to assist students in preparation for this
culminating experience.
Humanics Nonprofit
Administration Program
Housed within the Sociology Department,
the Humanics Program prepares students
and community members for professional
positions in nonprofit community benefit
organizations.
Our program is linked with the curriculum
and competencies of the Nonprofit Lead-ership
Alliance (formerly Humanics), a
national organization that collaborates with
affiliated college and university programs,
professional organizations, and nonprofit
agencies. These institutions work to educate,
prepare, and certify professionals who can
strengthen and lead nonprofit organizations.
Students earning the Certificate in Man-agement
and Leadership for Community
Benefit Organizations simultaneously earn
national professional certification from the
Nonprofit Leadership Alliance.
Participation in the Nonprofit Adminis-tration
Program builds on and enhances
students’ chosen major course of study
and provides the tools to achieve success
in the field of nonprofit administration.
This interdisciplinary program is open to
students of all majors and to community
individuals. Courses may be taken through
Open University.
Career Opportunities
Today, more than 1.5 million nonprofit
community benefit organizations (CBOs)
are serving communities throughout the
United States, including 3,500 organiza-tions
here in the Central San Joaquin
Valley.
As the community benefit sector grows at
twice the rate of the government and private
sectors, demand for capable professionals
increases accordingly and is higher than
ever. Each year nearly 30,000 new agencies
are established. They offer an estimated
50,000 entry-level professional positions.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that
the need for qualified professionals for these
organizations will increase significantly over
the next several years. Many new community
benefit organizations are being established
locally every year.
