Field placements count for four credits and are offered during Winter Session. Students typically devote 20 to 30 hours per week to the experience over the five week period. In addition, students meet in a weekly two-hour seminar on campus to discuss and analyze their experiences. This experience provides useful, practical experience that places our students at an advantage in the search for work, and on more than one occasion has led directly to employment. Students in concentrations have additional requirements.
All concentrations require a four-credit practicum.
These credits do not count toward the 31 credits in the major. The department offers a minor in Sociology. See Department office for possible substitutions. If a courses is used to substitute Soci 301 or Soci 312, then you MUST take another Sociology 300 level course to fulfill the required number of Sociology credit hours. Two major research centers are also located within the department.
