Sociology and Anthropology

Sociology Major Requirements

Students majoring in sociology at Rose Hill are required to complete ten courses in the department.  The following four courses are required of all majors:

1. Introduction to Sociology (SORU 1100)
2. Sociological Theory (SORU 2800)
3. Research Methods I (SORU 2850)
4. Research Methods II (SORU 2851)

Sociology majors are free to choose the remaining six courses according to their interests and career goals from a broad spectrum of sociological courses offered by the department.  Two courses in anthropology may be included among the elective courses.  With the written approval of the chairperson or associate chairperson, two courses in other social science departments in Fordham College may be counted toward these six elective courses, giving the major considerable opportunity to develop an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human social behavior.
