Sociology and Anthropology Minors

Two minors, one in sociology and one in anthropology, are available within the department.

Note: Class of 2024 and Beyond

For Class of 2024 and beyond, we have implemented a curricular change. All major core requirements are the same except for students must take both SOC334 Multivariate Analysis and SOC335 Survey of Research Methods instead of the Suite of Methods options (see Class of 2024 and Beyond sections).
