Sociology Major with Field of Study
The Sociology major with a field of study allows students to pursue a more focused program in one of five fields of study.
- Organizations, Business, and the Economy
- Race and Ethnic Relations
- Social Movements, Comparative Politics, and Social Change
- Social Psychology and Interpersonal Processes
- Social Stratification and Inequality
To complete the requirements for the B.A. degree in Sociology with a field of study, a student must complete all core and foundation course work requirements for the major plus 20 units of course work in the chosen field of study.
At least one foundation course must be in the declared field of study and students are encouraged to take as many foundation courses within their field of study as possible.
Fields of study are declared on Axess; students must also submit a field of study declaration form by the end of the first quarter of the senior year. Interested students should contact Sociology Undergrad Student Services for additional information or to request a concentration declaration form. Fields of study are noted on the transcript; they do not appear on the diploma.
