OVERVIEW

The School of Social Ecology is a unique interdisciplinary academic unit spanning the environmental, social, behavioral, and health sciences, as well as the relationship between law and society. The School is comprised of the Departments of Criminology, Law and Society; Environmental Health, Science, and Policy; Psychology and Social Behavior; and Planning, Policy, and Design. It has approximately 75 full-time faculty members, 2,660 undergraduate majors, and 260 graduate students. Social Ecology applies scientific methods to the study of a wide range of recurring social and environmental problems. Among issues of long-standing interest in the School are crime and justice in society, social influences on human development over the life cycle, urban and community planning, and effects of the physical environment on health and behavior. In summary, while ecology is the science of the relationship between organisms and their environments, social ecology is the science of the relationships between human populations and their environments, broadly defined.

The faculty is multidisciplinary. It includes psychologists with a variety of specialties (e.g., developmental, clinical, social, and environmental); sociologists; program evaluators; criminologists; lawyers; urban and regional planners; environmental health scientists; and environmental design specialists. Faculty members conduct research and teach courses that integrate concepts and perspectives of the several disciplines. This focus

arises from commitment to the view that societal problems are so complex that their analysis requires interdisciplinary efforts (e.g., the joining of talents by people with different intellectual backgrounds). A number of faculty members are involved in interventions directed toward improving the way groups of individuals, institutions, and communities function. A number of others are involved in interventions aimed at improving the quality and control of the environment.

Research Facilities

Social Ecology I and II and the nearby Multipurpose Academic and Administrative (MPAA) Building are wireless environments that house the School's research centers and feature many facilities for experimental research, such as wet laboratories for research and teaching in the environmental health sciences and behavioral assessment laboratories for research in human development, social relations, and legal studies. Behavioral assessment laboratories are used for studying social phenomena such as parent-child interaction, cooperation among children, memory functions, hyperactivity, social support processes, and mock jury discussions.

The School also offers students up-to-date computing facilities, including the state-of-the art Janice R. Green Instructional Computing Lab, and assistance to ensure that their skills prepare them for either advanced (graduate) work or for the changing needs of today's workplace, which increasingly demands skills in computing and information technology.

HONORS

Honors at graduation will be awarded to about 12 percent of the graduating seniors. Eligibility for such honors will be on the basis of grade point average (GPA). A minimum overall GPA of 3.5 is required. A general criterion is that students must have completed at least 72 units in residence at a University of California campus by the end of the winter quarter of the academic year in which they graduate. Final decisions concerning the awards of summa cum laude, magna cum laude, and cum laude are the responsibility of a committee chaired by the Associate Dean for Students. Other important factors are also considered. (See "Honors Recognition" in the Honors Opportunities information in the Division of Undergraduate Education section).

Undergraduate Program

The School of Social Ecology offers either a general interdisciplinary degree in Social Ecology or a more focused experience through degree programs in Criminology, Law and Society; Psychology and Social Behavior; Public Health Policy; and Public Health Sciences.

Change of Major. Students who wish to change their major to one offered by the School should contact the Social Ecology Student Services Office for information about change-of-major requirements, procedures, and policies. Information is also available at http://www.due.uci.edu/Change_of_Major.html.

HONORS PROGRAM IN SOCIAL ECOLOGY

The Social Ecology Honors Program provides the opportunity for selected School of Social Ecology students to pursue advanced independent study. Admission to the program is based on formal invitation and application in the spring quarter of the junior year. In order to be considered, a student must have satisfied the following requirements: completion of all lower-division Social Ecology courses required for the major; completion of at least five upper-division Social Ecology courses with a grade point average of at least 3.5 in these courses; and achievement of an overall grade point average at UCI of at least 3.2. Acceptance into the program is based upon evidence of the student's ability, interest in research, and proposed thesis project. Successful completion of the program requires two quarters of supervised, independent work on a thesis research project (Social Ecology H190A-B) and written and oral presentation of an honors thesis (Social Ecology H190W).

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Graduates of the School of Social Ecology bring a distinctive cross-disciplinary perspective to the job market. The School provides a solid foundation for those students who seek jobs in planning departments, mental health settings, educational institutions, and a variety of community and governmental agencies. Many Social Ecology students find that their interdisciplinary training is also useful for careers in management.

The School also provides sound preparation for students who wish to apply to graduate and professional schools of law, administration, public health, social welfare, psychology, sociology, criminology, and urban planning.

The UCI Career Center provides services to students and alumni including career counseling, information about job opportunities, a career library, and workshops on resume preparation, job search, and interview techniques. Additional information is available in the Career Center section.

FIELD STUDY

An important aspect of the undergraduate program is its field study requirement for majors. Field study is designed to provide students with an opportunity to examine social-environmental problems as they occur in community settings; to evaluate the merit of ideas presented in the classroom; and to conduct naturalistic observations and investigations at field sites. Under the supervision of a Social Ecology faculty sponsor, students have the opportunity to test their skills in the community, to evaluate procedures and problem-solving strategies used in the work place, and to observe the links between community practices and academic ideas and issues. The settings provided for field study include a wide range of problem-oriented institutions and agencies in both the private and the public sector (e.g., Orange County Public Defender's Office; California Coastal Commission; American Red Cross; primary and secondary schools; Fairview Development Center; planning, legal, and design corporations). Students must select a placement site from those listed and approved by the School of Social Ecology. Unlisted or inappropriate placements, as well as those that could give the appearance of nepotism or preferential treatment, will not be approved. Departmental approval for field study will be determined by the Field Study Director.

Field study is open only to upper-division School of Social Ecology students who are in good academic standing and have completed all prerequisite course work. All field studies are taken on a Pass/Not Pass grading basis. Further information, including field study sign-up procedures and prerequisites, must be obtained from the Social Ecology Student Services Office.

Planning a Program of Study

Because there are many alternative ways to plan a program, some of which may require careful attention to specific major requirements, students should consult with the Social Ecology Student Services Office, 102 Social Ecology I, to design an appropriate program of study.

Students who elect one of the majors in the School of Social Ecology in their freshman year might begin by taking the introductory courses required by their major. It is a good idea to take these courses early because they include fundamental concepts that are widely applicable in more advanced courses. In addition, the lower-division writing requirement of the breadth requirement (category I) should be completed during the first year. In the sophomore year, the student might complete three courses toward the breadth requirement, four courses in their major, and four electives. Students who are planning to go on to graduate school can use their freshman and sophomore years to advantage by taking courses in theory, research methods, statistics, and other areas important to graduate study. In the junior and senior years, the student should take courses in the major area and should create an individualized program of study through a combination of courses and course modules which fall in an area of interest. Particular attention should be paid to planning a program of study that will ensure that major requirements are met prior to graduation.

Program in Public Health

Courses

The Program in Public Health was established in 2003, to develop core strengths in essential areas of the field, including health services and clinical policy research, biostatistics and quantitative/qualitative methods, clinical sciences, epidemiology, behavior/interdisciplinary sciences, and environmental health sciences. In addition to core faculty research, collaborative interdisciplinary research programs are supported by joint faculty appointments shared with other UCI departments. Information about the undergraduate program follows. A proposal for a graduate program is currently under development. Interested students should contact the Program in Public Health for up-to-date information: e-mail: newmanj@uci.edu or Oladele.Ogunseitan@uci.edu.

UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS IN PUBLIC HEALTH

The B.S. in Public Health Sciences and the B.A. in Public Health Policy degree programs train students in multidisciplinary approaches to public health practice and research. The degrees explore both quantitative and qualitative aspects of public health at all levels of analysis. Graduates will advance, through selective employment or further education, to become the new generation of public health professionals prepared to face the emerging challenges to human health from a population perspective using cutting-edge prevention approaches.

Students who are interested in pursuing a premedical program should note that additional courses will be needed beyond the requirements of the public health degrees to fulfill requirements for medical school.

Students considering the public health degrees should carefully evaluate their academic preparation and career goals before enrolling in either the B.S. or B.A. degree program. Changing from one degree program to the other is possible, but will require completion of the required lower- and upper-division courses specified for each program. It is also possible for a student to enroll in both the B.S. and B.A. degree programs (double major), provided the student completes all the requirements outlined under each degree.

NOTE: The School of Social Ecology Student Services Office is coordinating the undergraduate affairs activities for the College of Health Sciences' Program in Public Health.

CAREERS FOR THE MAJORS

For graduates with the bachelor's degrees who wish to enter the job market directly, there is a plethora of opportunities in private agencies and public organizations for entry-level personnel in public health. These include statewide and regional health care agencies (e.g., the Orange County Health Care Agency), community clinics focusing on preventive health, water and air quality management districts, biomedical companies, health-education institutions, and activist non-governmental organizations. The National Association of County and City Health Officials (http://www.naccho.org) has produced a compendium of public health career paths, many of which have become even more compelling for graduates at the bachelor's level.

In addition to supplying practitioners for the entry-level workforce in public health, the undergraduate degrees will also prepare students to enter graduate programs in public health. Information about public health careers can be obtained through the Council on Education for Public Health (http://www.ceph.org) and the Association of Schools of Public Health (http://www.whatispublichealth.org).

ADMISSION TO THE MAJORS

Freshmen: There are no specific requirements for admission at the freshman level, however completion of a college preparatory high school curriculum including two years of high school biology, a combination of natural science courses including one year each of mathematics and chemistry, and courses in health science and social sciences will be helpful. Grades of B or better are recommended in all these preparatory courses.

Transfer students: Junior-level applicants with the highest grades overall and who satisfactorily complete lower-division requirements will be given preference for admission to the Public Health majors. All applicants to the B.S. degree in Public Health Sciences must complete one year of general biology and one year of general chemistry. All applicants to the B.A. degree in Public Health Policy must complete one year of courses in anthropology, economics, sociology, and/or psychology.
