Department of Sociology

Department Chair: Debra Lemke, Ph.D.

Notes:


Students wishing to double major in Criminal Justice and Sociology can only double count SOC 1104, 3105, and 4104.
Students wishing to major in Sociology and minor in Criminal Justice can only double count SOC 1104.
Students wishing to major in Criminal Justice and minor in Sociology can only double count SOC 1104.
Students wishing to minor in both Criminal Justice and Sociology can only double count SOC 1104.

Regarding SOC 1103 transfer credit. Students who receive transfer credit for SOC 1103 cannot receive credit for SOC 1104. SOC 1103 will serve as a prerequisite for all upper division SOC classes but does NOT equate to SOC 1104 due to the International Nonwestern tag that SOC 1104 carries. Should a student take SOC 1104 at McDaniel, the previously awarded transfer credit will be removed.

The numbering system for sociology classes indicates which area they fit into: x1xx is a required course; x2xx is a Society and the Individual course; x3xx is a Social Organization course and x4xx is a Social Inequality course. Internships and Independent Studies are exceptions to this system.
