Five additional courses in Sociology, one of which may be at the 100 level and at least one of which must be at the 300 level. Some courses offered by the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research give major or minor credit in sociology: SWSR 302, SWSR 306, SWSR 354. No more than two courses from GSSWSR can be applied to the major or minor.
Two additional courses in sociology or an allied subject, the allied courses to be chosen in consultation with the faculty adviser. The department strongly recommends that majors take a history course focused on late 19th and 20th century American history. Students with an interest in quantitative sociology are encouraged to elect as allied work further training in mathematics, statistics and computer science. Those with an interest in historical or theoretical sociology are encouraged to elect complementary courses in history, philosophy, and anthropology. In general, these allied courses should be chosen from the Social Sciences.
