Minor in Sociology

A minor in sociology may be obtained by completing 20 credits of coursework (five courses). The minor requirement is satisfied by successful completion of two core courses SOC 113 – Introduction to Sociology or SOC 116 – Social Problems (students must earn a grade of "C" or better in either of these classes in order to enroll in a research methods or sociological theory class) and one of the following: SOC 214 – Research Methods, or SOC 315 – Sociological Theory, or SOC 333 Sociological Theory: Sociology of Crime. Students must also complete three electives in sociology. Electives may be chosen from any combination of sociology offerings but students interested in concentrating their minor coursework in a specific program area may wish to select all of their electives from that area. Students must complete at least 8 credits in the minor in residence at Suffolk.
