Students planning to apply for admission to the Honors program should consult §15.2.2 for admission requirements.
General program requirements are listed in §43.6.
Honors in Sociology requires successful completion of a minimum of 
42 at the senior level for the concentration as follows:
SOC 100 | |
SOC 210 | |
SOC 212 | |
two of SOC 241, 251, 260, 269 | |
SOC 315 | |
SOC 335 | |

| |
|
A maximum of 54 at the senior level is possible, the additional 12 being made up of courses at the 200-, 300- or 400-level.
Compulsory requirements for a minor are met by a study of subjects in an area or areas related to the student's interest in Sociology. 30 (at the junior and senior levels) are required; however, without permission of the Associate Chair (Undergraduate), no more than 18 from any single department are allowed.
The remainder of an Honors student's program is composed of optional coursework. Courses taken outside the Faculties of Arts and Science may be approved as part of the minor requirement in related areas, or they may be taken as options if their number, in the total program, does not exceed 18.
Honors students considering graduate studies should take senior courses in population and additional coursework in theory and methods beyond that required of Honors students.
Due to the unique nature of the minor requirements in the Honors in Sociology program, a Combined Honors program in Sociology is not normally offered.
Note: R SOC 355 and 450 have been approved for cross-listing as applicable to a major or minor in Sociology (see §44.31.2).

Promotion from year to year requires a GPA of at least 3.0 with an average of at least 3.3 in all Sociology courses in the Fall/Winter, and no grade of less than B- in any Sociology course.
Graduation Requirements
