Exploring Other Types of Majors Involving Sociology
Sociology plays a prominent role in other majors on campus. For example, both the Media Studies Major and the Human Health Major have a notable sociology component: several of our courses count towards each major and some of our faculty are closely linked with each major as well.
Two particular majors are especialy notable: the joint major in Sociology and Religion and the Sociology Track of the Quantiative Sciences major.
