Return to: Programs and Degrees
The Sociology minor introduces the foundations for a science of behavior that encompasses both social and mental processes. It includes selected learning outcomes that ensure depth and breadth in sociological theory and practice.
The Sociology minor provides sufficient undergraduate preparation for the minimum entry requirements to an accredited graduate program in sociology without extensive additional upper-division coursework, although an introductory statistics course and a research methods course are recommended.
