The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of sport sociology within American and Canadian Colleges and Universities. The study investigated: (1) the number of graduate and undergraduate courses offered in sport sociology; (2) current research area(s) of interest within sport sociology; (3) current text used as reference and topics discussed within the sport sociology course(s); and (4) career placement of sport sociology students. One hundred members (1981-82) of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport were randomly selected to participate in this study. A total response of 54 surveys were returned--47 from the United States and 7 from Canada. The results indicated that American and Canadian colleges and universities are continuing to offer required or elective undergraduate and graduate courses in sport sociology. These courses have been offered for almost seven years. Consistent topics covered within the sport sociology courses were: sport socialization, race and sport, and politics and sport. Current research is being conducted in the areas of socialization, women and sexism, and small groups. (Author)
