The Sociology minor introduces the preparatory foundations of the "science of behavior both social and mental processes." It includes selected learning outcomes that ensure depth and breadth in sociological theory and practice.

The Sociology minor provides sufficient undergraduate preparation for the minimum entry requirements to an accredited graduate program in sociology without extensive additional upper-division coursework, although an introductory statistics course and a research methods course are recommended.

Integration with Majors

The Sociology minor supports you if interested in applied research areas and fields such as classroom teaching, preschool teaching, business, human services, social work, gerontology, probation and law enforcement, and other health and human service careers.
