- Title
Accreditation of Sociology Programs: A Bridge to a Border Audience.
- Authors
Perlstadt, Harry
- Abstract
As more individuals trained in sociology find jobs outside academia, the demands for appropriate training, particularly at the undergraduate and master's level, have increased. Sociology must become visible and pertinent to a broader audience beyond academia. This paper begins with definitions from the sociology of professions and then explores the problems facing sociology: its nebulous nature, its interests in professional jurisdictions, and the employability of sociologists outside academia in the United States. Accreditation is proposed as a foundation for credentialing and one method of improving the quality of applied and clinical sociological training.
