COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY COURSE REQUIRMENTS
The Sociology Department is in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences (CLAS), and therefore all Sociology Majors are responsible for CLAS requirements as well. Most, but not all, CLAS course requirements are 100-level general education classes. See the Undergraduate Catalog (link at left) for the University and College requirements.
