COURSE CURRICULUM

To earn a Joint Major in Sociology/Anthropology, students must meet several key requirements. First, they need to complete the introductory courses Sociology 1010 and Anthropology 1050. Then, students must take six core courses: Sociology 3010, Sociology 3020, Sociology 3320, Anthropology 3320, Anthropology 3610, and either Sociology 3310 or Anthropology 3210. In addition, students must complete at least nine electives, including two area courses, two Sociology/Anthropology courses at the 2000-, 3000-, or 4000-level, four courses at the 3000- or 4000-level, and one course from Anthropology, Sociology, or Sociology/Anthropology at the 2000-level or above. Prospective majors must achieve a combined average of at least 60% in the prerequisite introductory courses to qualify. When applying for the major, students must have a minimum combined average of 65% in at least four Sociology, Anthropology, or Sociology/Anthropology courses at or above the 2000-level. It is strongly recommended that students take 2000-level courses in their second year to prepare for advanced study. Students are advised to apply for the major at the end of their second year or the beginning of their third year, allowing ample time to complete required core courses and electives for a successful academic progression.
