Sociology (120 Credits)

This is a prototype of one of many ways to complete the Bachelor of Arts in Sociology in four years. The program has built-in flexibility. Students should consult their advisors regarding other acceptable course plans.

Students must meet the graduation requirements of the College of Liberal Arts. They are encouraged to make a broad and balanced sampling of UCORE courses to meet the university's goal for a general education, as well as to explore or confirm possible major and career interests.

At least 40 of the 120 hours for the degree must be at the 300-400-level.
