The program prepares students for graduate study in sociology, social work, urban affairs, governmental administration, criminal justice, law, industrial organization, education, etc. The sociological perspective and the technical knowledge and skills developed in this program contribute to personal growth and are useful in a broad range of occupations. Courses numbered SC 001 through SC 099 are part of the Core. These courses address a wide range of important sociological themes ranging from the study of major social institutions, such as the family, religion, education, mass media, the workplace and justice system, to the analysis of global social processes including culture, identity formation, war and peace, deviance and social control, aging, social movements, and inequalities in the areas of race, class, and gender. Information about Core Courses Sociology courses numbered from SC 001 through SC 099 provide Social Science Core credit. Note that any Sociology Cultural Diversity courses numbered above SC 099 do not satisfy the Social Science Core requirement. Major Requirements Sociology majors are required to take a minimum of ten Sociology courses for a total of thirty credits. These courses must include the following: Introductory Sociology (SC 001), preferably the section designed for Sociology majors (SC 001.01). Statistics (SC 200), Social Theory (SC 215), and Research Methods (SC 210) are also required. It is recommended that Statistics be taken before Research Methods.
