FOREWORD BY THE COLLEGE DEAN
The College of Business and Social Sciences was one of the two
Colleges the University started with in October 2005. The programmes
in the College were grouped under two Departments, Social Sciences
and Administration.
When the University started, there were only 156 students in all the
programmes in the College. This has increased to 915 during the current
session. At the beginning of 2009/2010 session, the programmes in the
College were arranged into four Departments. These are Economics,
Accounting and Finance; Management Studies; Political Science and
International Relations; and Sociology and Industrial Relations and
Personnel Management. Our Programmes are regularly updated to take
account of new innovations and developments in the various
disciplines.
The College currently runs B.Sc Degree programmes in Accounting;
Banking and Finance; Business Administration; Economics; Industrial
Relations and Personnel Management, Marketing; Political Science and
International Relations; and Sociology.
The College has now graduated three sets of students. Many of our
graduates are establishing themselves and are making waves in their
various chosen careers. Some are pursuing postgraduate programmes in
reputable Universities in Nigeria, Europe North America and South
America. We intend to run postgraduate programmes in some
disciplines as soon as the University enters into its second phase of the
development

COUNSELLING
Students counseling is an important activity of the Departments,
which is aimed at ensuring academic success for all the students.

referred to as the Level Coordinator/Adviser. He/she is
responsible to the entire students for that level in each
department.

boards. It is the responsibility of students to go to these boards
21
Sociology
regularly to ensure that they keep abreast of the happenings in
the Department and College as regards their programme in the
University. The Department and College would therefore not be
responsible for negligence on the part of the students for failing
to comply with any directives of the departments or its units
given through the medium of the notice boards.

HOD’S REMARKS
The handbook for the Department of Sociology and Industrial Relations
and Personnel Management contains within it the teaching and learning
of the discipline by lecturers and students within the Department.
Without any doubt, Sociology is the life force of the Social Sciences,
being the discipline that analysis the intricate human behaviour as it
other disciplines. The Department houses a crop of lecturers who are
specialists in different fields of Sociology, Industrial Relations and
Personnel Management. This enables them to combine the theoretical
with the practical in terms of producing students who are groomed to
study human relationship in both societal and global perspectives.
The courses taught within the Department are handled by lecturers who
have hands-on experience in areas like Industrial Sociology were
students are brought up to understand the sociology of work and
occupation in their varied dimensions.
Also, areas like Medical Sociology, Family, Criminology, Ethnography,
Gender, Religion, Community Relations and Development Studies, are
handled by specialists in these respective areas. Courses taught in the
Department are therefore expected to breed solution providers to the
ongoing problems of the society, aspects which are in line with the
vision of Crawford University.
It therefore gives me great pleasure to present the handbook of the
Department of Sociology, College of Business and Social Sciences,
Crawford University.
