A criminology major may not also major in sociology. Note that any course applied toward the total hours of one major or minor may not also be applied toward the total credit hours of another major or minor. Each of these courses must be passed with a grade of C- or better, with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00 in these 37 hours. A student may choose to concentrate the 18 elective hours in a particular subfield of sociology.
Students often find that such a concentration lends coherence to the program of study.
Advisors can assist students who wish to assemble a concentration of courses in a subfield of interest. Planning the course of study A student planning a sequence of courses should keep in mind that many required courses have prerequisites, and that it is best to steadily complete required courses rather than leaving them for the last semester or semesters. It is also recommended that College of Arts and Sciences Group Requirements be completed as soon as possible. Grades below C- cannot be used to fulfill the major requirements. Overall grade point average is computed by dividing the total number of hours into the total grade points.
