Abstract

Practicing applied, clinical, and more recently public sociologists have most often become involved in social change activities because of a learning environment that combined a change oriented classroom experience with a positive field experience. How does a sociology program create such a learning environment? In this paper, I will cover three models used by practice programs in sociology accredited by the Commission on Applied and Clinical Sociology to train change oriented students. Although accreditation is not essential for training the next generation of social change agents, it is one means by which like minded sociologists can pursue their common educational interests. Accreditation is also a way by which the discipline of sociology can return to its practice oriented roots.
