Minor in Sociology

About the Minor

The sociology minor is designed to give students specializing in other fields a broader knowledge of contemporary social issues such as poverty, racism, economic inequality, unemployment, and environmental change through a sociological lens. For students majoring in such fields as business and engineering, the minor helps develop skills in critical thinking that go beyond the acquisition of specialized, professional techniques. It will further students’ ability to systematically identify how gender, race or class, for example, shape work, medicine, technology, and society. For students majoring in another area of the liberal arts, the minor offers the opportunity to place the issues raised in the major discipline within a larger social context.

All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.
