Sociology, B.A. Suggested 4-year Plan

How to Use your 4-year Plan

• This is a suggested 4-year plan for your major and not meant to replace regular academic advising.
• The plan is flexible and can be changed to accommodate studying abroad, a second major/minor(s) or AP/IB credits.
• You should work with an academic advisor to develop a plan that meets your interests and goals.
• You must earn a minimum of 120 credits to graduate and 36 major-specific credits to earn a B.A. in Sociology.
• Transfer students and those looking to add B.A. in Sociology as a second major should contact the program advisor for degree planning.
• If you have any questions, please schedule an appointment with a Sociology Peer Advisor.

Suggested 4-year Plan

• We encourage you to select your General Education (GE) and minor/second major/Themed Inquiry/Honors program around the plan below. Once you fill your GE classes around your major classes, you will have a better idea of space remaining each semester when choosing your Exploration Focus.
• To be enrolled full time, you must take at least 12 credits a semester.
• In order to graduate within 4 years, we recommend you take 30 credits a year.
• To graduate with a B.A. in Sociology, you MUST take Capstones I and II consecutively. Capstone I is offered in the Fall while Capstone II is offered in the Spring. If you plan on studying abroad or are planning ahead for a double major, be sure to talk to your Peer Advisor about ensuring you take these courses consecutively.
