Sociology minor

Students may elect to complete a minor in sociology, which provides a strong complement to many other disciplines. The undergraduate minor in sociology requires 18 hours of course work, including SOC 1000 with at least nine hours of sociology electives numbered 3000 and above. Students must earn a C or better in all courses counting for the minor.
