Planning Recommendations:
- Majors should take SOCI 210 (Social Statistics) and 300-level courses after completing an introductory course.
- SOCI 335 (Sociological Research Methods) or ANTH 300 and SOCI 365 (Social Theory) should be completed by the end of the junior year in order to prepare for the senior capstone class.
- Students completing the required co-op in the junior year should plan their methods course (SOCI 335 Sociological Research Methods or ANTH 300) and SOCI 365 (Social Theory) accordingly — ideally completing them before or during the
junior year.
- Students planning to study abroad their junior fall should consult with their advisor to plan around both the co-op requirement and the completion of SOCI 365 (Social Theory) and the methods course.
- Majors must take SOCI 497 (Advanced Research & Writing) during the fall semester of the senior year.
