Sociology, Minor - Course Requirements

The minor in Sociology gives the student an introduction to the content and methodology of the field. Comprised of a 3 credit Introductory Sociology course and 15 additional semester hours in any sociology courses (i.e., only courses with a designation of “SOCO” will count toward the minor, provided that all prerequisites have been met), the minor prepares students for graduate study in sociology and/or the social sciences or a career in a sociology-related field. The full-time faculty in sociology will work to tailor the specific course selection to suit individual students upon request. Minimum grade of C is required.
