Sociology Faculty Advisors are assigned to Junior and Senior students to help select classes for your Sociology major or minor, discuss graduate school options, or explore career options with a Sociology degree. Freshmen and Sophomore students should see a counselor with Academic Advising and Career Education (AACE), which is linked at the bottom of this page.

The following Self Help Tools are designed to help you avoid delays in your progress toward graduation by laying out the sequence of courses that are required to complete your degree. You can access each tool through the links below.

The Sociology B.A. Recommended Roadmap lists the recommended course sequence for Sociology Majors. If you are a transfer student, start at the Fifth Semester. Note that SOC 300 must be taken in either the Fifth or Sixth Semester, and it must be taken before SOC 390. SOC 390 must then be taken before SOC 499. We recommend you download a copy of the roadmap and keep it handy when planning your schedule. If you wish to deviate from the recommended course sequence, you should definitely speak with your Faculty Advisor, listed above.

The Blank Roadmap can be used to plan your courses. We recommend using it in conjunction with the Sociology Course Checklist and the Sociology B.A. Recommended Roadmap
