Notes:

1. Twelve courses are required: SC 100 , SC 201 , SC 202  or SC 203 , SC 342 , SC 355 , SC 401 , three courses at the SC 360-499 level (one of which must be a 400-level seminar), and three SC electives at any level.
2. Introduction to Statistical Methods and Data Analysis (ST 110 ) or an equivalent statistics course (e.g., EC 220 ) is required for the major. Making Sense of Data with Database Management Systems (CS 105 ) and/or Topics in Introductory Computer Science (CS 120 ) are strongly recommended. ST 110  and CS 105  can be used to fulfill the mathematics/natural science core requirements.
3. Interdisciplinary Major: Students wishing to combine sociology with some other field for an interdisciplinary major must take SC 201 , SC 202 , SC 342 , SC 355 , and four sociology electives, two of which must be SC 360-499 level (and one of those must be a 400-level seminar).
4. The combination of biology/sociology is an excellent program of study for students interested in medical school, graduate study in medical sociology, or a career in the health field. Combining sociology with psychology, writing, and history are also common interdisciplinary courses of study.  Global studies is a common double major with sociology.  
5. SC 100 , SC 201 , SC 202 , SC 203 , SC 204 , SC 205 , SC 206 , SC 207 , and SC 209  all count toward the Social Science Core requirement.
