Students who are thinking about doing Honors research should be sure to take this course no later than the fall semester of their junior year. This course, taught by Professor Long, provides an overview of the history of sociology, focusing on empirical studies that have been crucial in its development both as a scientific discipline and as a mode of understanding the world. It, too, is required for all sociology majors. Sociology majors do not need to take a foreign language, but those planning graduate study should be competent in at least one such language. Some sociology courses listed on the web site or in the course catalogue may not be offered every year, and courses among the regular offerings are occasionally added or dropped.
Students are responsible for making sure they satisfy all the requirements for their degree.
One of the sociology faculty, preferably department adviser Professor Klineberg, should sign each major's registration.
