Bachelor of Arts in Deviant Behavior and Social Control The major in deviant behavior and social control is designed to provide students with a basic interdisciplinary understanding of important social problems and institutional responses to treat and control them. This major teaches students the ethnographic and ethnological skills necessary to do professional field research, while maintaining strong interdisciplinary content. This major is relevant to a number of social service careers including social work, social research, protective and corrective services, probation, parole, community reintegration and treatment. The research, writing, and broad interdisciplinary training also provide majors with the background necessary for graduate programs in social work, law, or the social sciences. The core requirements pertain to theory and research, while electives demonstrate applications of these to particular problems.
