论文

学生 may take between nine (9) and sixteen (16) credits to complete this ACE. The thesis should build on the work the student has done in the Sociology major. This academic work should prepare them for graduate study in disciplines that have been incorporated into their study.

出国留学

学生 will typically take 15-16 credits to complete a study abroad experience. 而在异国社会和文化中学习是很重要的, the primary focus is to take courses from the new institution that will help the student to develop his/her areas of interest as it relates to the major. 简而言之, there needs to be an integrated social science experience that drives the study abroad learning as well as the opportunity to explore a new society and culture for this to be a successful experience. All study abroad experiences should first be cleared with the Academic Director to see if they qualify to meet the requirement for the Capstone.

SOC majors may use an SGA course to fulfill both the major requirement and the CORE requirement.
