Minor in Sociology
Students must complete a minimum of 35 units in Sociology for the minor. Courses must be taken for a letter grade, and a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 (C) must be achieved. Students are encouraged to complete a course in sociological theory, such as SOC 170, and to obtain exposure to one of the areas of study. Students who wish to declare a minor in Sociology must do so no later than the deadline for their application to graduate. Related course work from other departments may fulfill a minor requirement. All course substitutions must be pre-approved by the Sociology student services office and the Undergraduate Program Director; a student may not exceed 5 substitution units for the minor.
