Specialization Areas
Students with a major in sociology (B.S.) have the option to select one or more specialization from the list below. The specialization areas are designed to provide students with the opportunity to focus their studies and develop specific skill sets that are highly marketable in the workplace, and in gaining admission to graduate programs. However, they do not constitute separate academic majors or minors, and they do not replace the requirement that students have a major and a minor. The student who does wish to complete a specialization should take 15 semester credit hours in the selected area as listed below. The student who does not wish to select one of the specializations should merely complete the major requirements for the B.S. degree in sociology.
