Teaching Sociology: Comparing Undergraduate Curricula in the United States and in English Canada.
Guppy, Neil; Arai, A. Bruce
Teaching Sociology, v22 n3 p217-30 Jul 1994
Reports on a comparative study of the undergraduate sociology curriculum in 36 U.S. and 38 English Canadian institutions. Finds that Canadian schools more closely resemble the European sociology curriculum by emphasizing sociological theory. Contends that U.S. schools emphasize research methods in the context of a liberal arts program. (CFR)
