Sociology Minor

To earn a minor in Sociology, students must complete a minimum of 15 credit hours, including two core courses and at least two elective courses. Classes used to complete the minor cannot also be used to satisfy degree requirements in the student’s major, but they may indeed count toward ECCE requirements.
