The Department of Sociology offers majors and minors in sociology and criminal justice, a minor in anthropology, and a certificate in applied social research.

Writing Requirement

Most upper-division courses in programs offered through the Department of Sociology require that the student complete a formal writing project in conjunction with the course. The writing project ordinarily takes the form of a term or research paper that tests the student’s ability to communicate the course material effectively. The exact nature of these projects is determined by the individual course instructor.
