The sociology major consists of ten courses within the department and five additional related courses in other departments selected from a set of focused options.
Students develop their selections through close consultation with a major advisor.
All majors must also complete six additional sociology credits, one of which must be a capstone. Of the four required courses for a major, three must be taken on campus. Of the ten total courses for the major, six must be taken on campus. The capstone requirement is a research paper.
