Elective Courses (21 credits)
Students must take five courses in sociology and two in anthropology. These should be selected in consultation with an adviser. One non-sociology elective is admissible with the adviser’s approval.
Independent Study
Students may undertake independent study under the close supervision of a faculty adviser. The topic and type of study will be determined by the student and adviser. Students should make all necessary arrangements by the end of the semester preceding the semester of independent study. Timely arrangements are critical since faculty members are limited in the number of independent study projects they may supervise per semester.
Students are required to complete an Independent Study Form (PDF 252KB).
