Concentration: Student-Designed This program allows students to combine the study of sociology with the study of another discipline or substantive area and to create a program that satisfies their own interests and career plans. By the beginning of the junior year, participants in the self-designed program are expected to consult with the DUS in order to obtain approval for their course of study.
- Thirteen term courses (including the senior colloquium). At least one must be an introductory Sociology course or a substitute approved by the DUS, but no more than two introductory courses in any department or program may count toward the total.
- Up to four courses relevant to the concentration (i.e. economic processes and/or their social dimension) may be drawn from outside the Sociology department with approval from the DUS. The courses outside Sociology must constitute a coherent unit alone and form a logical whole when combined with the Sociology courses.
- Two courses in sociological theory (SOCY 151 and 152)
- Two courses in sociological methods, including SOCY 160
- One advanced seminar in Sociology (SOCY 300–399)
- The senior requirement must integrate sociology and the other subject chosen
Credit/D/Fail courses A maximum of two courses taken Credit/D/Fail may be counted toward the requirements of the major.
