  Newark Undergraduate Catalog 2022-2024 School of Arts and Sciences-Newark Academic Programs and Courses Sociology 920 Major Requirements  

Major Requirements


The requirements for the sociology major include:

1. 36 credits in Sociology 920. Courses in anthropology, criminal justice, or social work can also be applied as electives toward the sociology major (see below). Students must consult with an adviser when declaring the sociology major.

2. All majors are required to successfully pass (with a grade of C or better):

         21:920:201  Introduction to Sociology (3)

            21:920:301-302  Social Research I,II (3,3)

            21:920:409  Classical Sociological Theory (3)

            21:920:415  Contemporary Sociological Theory (3)

3. Research methodology and statistics sequence: Students who major in sociology must take a research methodology and statistics sequence. This requirement can be met through the Social Research Methods in Sociology courses (Sociology 301 and 302), or Research Methods in Criminal Justice (Criminal Justice 301 and 302), or Statistical and Research Methods in Psychology (Psychology 301 and 302).

4. Electives: Majors must complete 21 credits (typically seven courses) with a grade of C or better beyond the required courses for the sociology major. At least 15 credits (typically five courses) for the elective requirement must be taken in Sociology 920. Up to 6 credits (typically two courses) may count toward the elective from courses completed with a grade of C or better in anthropology, criminal justice, economics, political science, psychology, or social work with the explicit approval of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology.

5. Double-major: Students who double-major in sociology and another discipline must successfully complete the required courses for the major and are required to get approval from a sociology adviser before applying courses from another major toward the sociology major. Students who specifically double-major in sociology and criminal justice, political science, psychology, or social work must successfully pass at least four sociology elective courses in addition to the required courses in order to receive credit toward the sociology major. Note: Where it is required of both majors, double-majors are only required to take the research methodology sequence (301-302) once to satisfy the requirements of both majors.

Candidates for graduate school are advised to take a foreign language and/or advanced courses in mathematics/statistics.
