Paul Stretesky - Director of Undergraduate Studies
The Department of Sociology offers two concentrations; General Sociology and Criminology/Criminal Justice. Both concentrations provide you with a broad education in the social and natural sciences, arts and humanities, communication, logical and critical thinking, and mathematics. Although both concentrations emphasize a liberal education, the Criminology/Criminal Justice Concentration includes more courses that focus specifically on criminology, law, deviance, and correctional organizations.
Your major is structured to ensure substantial flexibility in the your field of study. After fulfilling all university, college, and major requirements, you still have between 33-35 elective credit hours. You may use these elective credits obtain a second major, a minor, or an interdisciplinary studies certificate. This allows you to obtain competency in two or more areas and still graduate on time. Sociology majors often minor in other colleges such as Applied Human Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Natural Resources, and Natural Sciences.
