PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS 

The Online B.A. in Sociology provides students with a solid foundation through a required core of four courses in theory and methods that provide a skill set and discipline context for subsequent work:  Introduction to Research Methods, Foundations in Sociological Theory, Advanced Quantitative Analysis, plus one of several choices for a third research methods course.  Students supplement these courses with first and second level topical courses. Two required upper division courses in at least two contemporary or classical topical areas augment the breadth and depth of sociological knowledge, requiring students to integrate and apply what they learn in the initial core courses.  All students are required to take one course in social inequality, which is at the heart of the discipline.  A senior capstone provides an opportunity to synthesize, integrate, and apply learning to a substantive problem or issue in an empirical research project.  Career planning and professional applications are embedded across the curriculum.

Program Requirements

120 credits are required for the degree. Of these 120 credits, 60 must come from the General Education curriculum, 30 must come from the Sociology curriculum, and 30 may come from the Sociology curriculum or from courses in other degree programs.
