Math 240 from Whatcom C.C. satisfies the Soc 207 requirement. Yes, any one of these statistic courses will substitute for Soc 207, and you may now take SOC 210. Although this course emphasizes the logic of statistical reasoning, an understanding of basic arithmetic and algebra is necessary. If your mathematical skills are rusty, you may wish to practice those skills as the class moves along. So don't hesitate to ask questions during class or to visit professors during office hours.
Some students also find that a study group is helpful.
As soon as you are admitted to Western, or if you are currently enrolled, you can contact the Sociology Advisor at any time throughout the year to declare in person or by mail. We can determine which courses may be applied toward the major, and develop a plan of study for coursework remaining. If you're not sure which program option is for you, we can help. Students with a 2.7 g.p.a. for the first twenty credits of sociology at WWU may petition the department for entry to the major. If you have any questions about how this works, or if we can help in any other way concerning the g.p.a. requirement, contact the Sociology Advisor for assistance.
