Sociology students take a total of 14 three-credit courses to complete the major, including a sequence of required courses designed specifically for majors and for those double majoring in Sociology and Education. Seminars at the freshman and senior levels provide extensive class participation, personalized instruction, and carefully supervised individual research.
In addition to these courses, Sociology students select a set of courses in substantive areas. Through consultation with faculty advisors, students are able to focus on their areas of special career or academic interest, such as criminal justice, law, education, social services, management, or marketing.
