A maximum of three credits of independent study (exclusive of SOCL 495-SOCL 496 (Honors)) may count towards the Sociology major. This includes the following Sociology courses below. If a student wishes to count additional independent study credits toward the Sociology major, he/she must obtain approval from the Chair of the Sociology Department.
Recommended Course Sequence:
Here are two suggested tracks for students to take to fulfill this curriculum. The first is for a student who begins Sociology courses in the freshman year. The second is for a student who does not begin Sociology courses until the sophomore year. Track 1 - Sophomore Year:
Track 1 - Senior Year:
The department will offer four Senior Capstone Seminars (two in the fall semester, two in the spring semester). The topics and professors for these courses will vary year to year. The department chair will inform rising seniors, prior to their registration for their senior fall semester, of their capstone choices. Rising seniors will then express their preferences to the department chair. Prerequisites for these capstone courses are SOCL 250, SOCL 351, SOCL 352, SOCL 353, and SOCL 354. Exceptions to these prerequisites may be made on a case-by-case basis by the department chair. A student completing Sociology Honors is not required to take a senior capstone seminar.
