Majors are also required to take four additional courses in sociology, and two courses in anthropology. These courses must be selected with adviser’s approval. One non-sociology elective is admissible with the adviser’s approval.
Course Sequence for Sociology Majors
Majors in sociology must take SOC 100 first before all other requirements and electives; then SOC 202 Development of Social Thought no later than the fall term of their junior year followed by SOC 203 Contemporary Sociological Theories in the spring term. SOC 200 Quantitative Research Methods should be taken before SOC 201 Qualitative Research Methods. Step students may be exempt from either SOC 200 or SOC 201, but not both.
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).
