Majors must complete a minimum of 124 hours for graduation. These requirements are broken down into the following:
All sociology majors must have a cumulative 2.5 GPA in the courses required for the sociology majors (i.e., courses in the core sociology curriculum, courses in the emphasis and support area). Students must have a grade of "C" or better in each course required for the major.
All sociology majors must also pass the Senior Comprehensive Exit Examination in Sociology. Passing the Sophomore Proficiency Examination in English (SPEE) is a prerequisite for all the 400 level sociology courses, except special topics courses. Passing the SPEE is also a prerequisite to take the Exit Examination. Students must take the GRE or another standardized examination (MCAT, LSAT, GMAT) as part of graduation requirements.
