Major
The Standard Major in Sociology consists of ten courses, to be selected as
follows:
- Prerequisite: One introductory level course, either Sociology 1 or
2
- One theory course: Sociology 11 or 12
- One methods course: Sociology 10 0r 16. With approval of the chair, a major
may substitute a statistical analysis course offered by another social
science department or program.
- Seven additional Sociology courses numbered 10 or higher, two of which must
be Upper Division courses. Majors are encouraged to identify an area of
concentration within Sociology.
Standard majors must satisfy the culminating experience requirement by
successfully completing any one of the following three options: Senior
Independent Study Project (Sociology 90), The Sociological Imagination
(Sociology 91), or Honors Thesis (Sociology 98). Because only one term of
Sociology 98 counts as one of the seven additional courses numbered 10 or
higher that are required for completion of the major, taking a second term of
Sociology 98 means that Honor students will typically take at least 11 course
credits in Sociology.
Modified Major
The Modified Major in Sociology consists of twelve courses, to be selected
as follows:
- Prerequisite course: Sociology 1 or 2
- One theory course: Sociology 11 or 12
- One methods course: Sociology 10 or 16. With approval of the chair, a major
may substitute a statistical analysis course offered by another social science
department or program.
- Five additional Sociology courses numbered 10 or higher. (Plus four courses
in another department). Majors are encouraged to identify an area of
concentration within Sociology.
Modified majors must satisfy the culminating experience requirement by
successfully completing any one of the following three options: Senior
Independent Study Project (Sociology 90), The Sociological Imagination
(Sociology 91), or Honors Thesis (Sociology 98). Because only one term of
Sociology 98 counts as one of the five additional courses numbered 10 or higher
that are required for completion of the modified major, taking a second term of
Sociology 98 means that Honor students will typically take at least 9 course
credits in Sociology.
