College Student Academic Services

Admission Course Requirements:

MATH 101 (equivalent ACT/SAT, equivalent course, or higher), and

SOC 104/105, or equivalent course at another university, college, or community college, and

SOC Elective (3 hours)

Admission GPA: 2.5
 

Admission GPA Calculation:

Sociology Admission GPA calculation will include MATH 101, SOC 104/105, and a minimum of one, three-hour Sociology elective.  Grades earned in any additional Sociology coursework will also be included in the Sociology Admission GPA calculation.  University course repeat policy will apply to GPA calculation.

Application Term:

Application to the major should occur in the term in which all designated admission course requirements have been initially completed.  If the student does not meet established admission GPA criteria or neglects to apply for admission in this term, the student must petition the department for permission for late application.  The department as part of an approved petition will determine late admission requirements (including GPA and curriculum) and the final admission deadline.

 
Justification:
MATH 101 is a prerequisite for a required course, SOC 510.  Students who cannot successfully complete MATH 101 typically cannot succeed in SOC 510.
