Sociology Major

Major Requirements

Students who wish to graduate with a full major in sociology must satisfactorily complete a minimum of ten graded courses:

• The introductory course: SOC 001 PZ  or SOC 001X PZ  
• One theory course: SOC 109 PZ  or SOC 110 PZ  (we strongly encourage students who are considering graduate work in sociology or a related field, such as social work, to take more than one theory course)
• Two methods courses: SOC 101 PZ  and SOC 102 PZ  (students may use CASA 105 in place of SOC 102 PZ  and any statistics course can be used to fulfill SOC 101 PZ ). We strongly recommend that students take SOC 101 PZ /SOC 102 PZ  as soon as they declare the major or before senior year.
• Five additional sociology courses, at least two of which should be from Foundations.
• Capstone: Students who choose to complete a thesis should enroll in SOC 199A PZ -Research Design for Thesis  (offered in fall) and SOC 199B PZ -Senior Thesis  (offered in spring). Students who choose not to complete a thesis, should enroll in SOC 199C PZ -Senior Seminar  (offered in the spring semester).

No more than three courses can be counted to fulfill the requirements in another major or minor or be transferred from another institution. Independent studies cannot be used to fulfill these requirements.

CASA Pitzer Courses: Sociology will caccept both CASA 101 and CASA 105 for two courses towards the major.

Double Major

Students must complete the requirements of both majors, including any theses or honor requirements. No more than two courses can be counted to fulfill the requirements in both fields.
