Apply methodological, theoretical, and research skills to carry out empirical research projects. Degree Requirements for BA in Sociology Eleven courses are required for the major in sociology (at least 33 semester hours). Ordinarily, these courses will be distributed as follows. Any exceptions to these requirements must be approved by the Major/Minor Advisor and/or chair of the Undergraduate Advising Committee Chair.

SOCI 380 Social Theory RESEARCH METHODS A) This course is highly recommended, and must be taken to meet the requirements of the major. SOCI 381 Research Methods: This course provides hands-on experience with both the quantitative and qualitative methods of sociological research. Sociology majors who are thinking about doing Honors research are urged to take this course no later than the fall semester of their junior year. B) Students are required to take this course: SOCI 382 Social Statistics: This course provides students with the skills they need to analyze quantitative data in order to answer sociological research questions and to test hypotheses. Students learn sample description, sampling and probability, sampling theory, and how to make inferences from samples to populations. They learn to apply common univariate statistics for description, and bivariate and multi-variate statistics for testing relationships. Because most statistical analysis is done with the aid of computers, this course also focuses on common statistical packages.
