The Sociology Minor

You do not have to officially declare a minor in sociology.  If you have met the requirements, you simply need to file the plan of study in the department office in the first four weeks of the semester in which you graduate. 

Requirements:

1.  Sociology 1001 (Introduction), 1251 (Social Problems), or 1501 (Race, Class, and Gender) or 1701

2.  Sociology 3201 (Methods of Social Research) or 3251 (Social Theory).

3.  Twelve additional credits in sociology at the 2000 level or above.

Other notes:

1. You need to obtain a grade of "C" or better in a course in order to count it towards the minor. This is different than the major requirement, which is a "C" average in Sociology courses. 

2. Space is often limited in Soci 3201 and 3251, so should try to take them early. 

3. The minor will be listed on your transcript but not on your diploma. 

4. The university has the following general rules:  “The same course may be used to meet both major and minor course requirements unless specifically stated otherwise in a major or minor. A maximum of 3 credits toward the minor may be transfer credits of courses equivalent to University of Connecticut courses. Substitutions are not possible for required courses in a minor.”
