[an error occurred while processing this directive][an error occurred while processing this directive] Sociology is a very diverse discipline with a wide range of areas to study. You may feel a little lost looking at the list of elective courses to take. Some of you want to sample a wide range of courses, while others may want a bit more direction. We have three possible majors in Sociology: General, Applied, and Globalization. You can find our bulletin here: http://sbs.mnsu.edu/soccorr/sociology/doc/sociology.pdf

For those that would like a bit more structure to their Sociology program, I have listed a number of possible concentrations for your major. We do not have formal concentrations, but the grouping of courses below allow you to get a bit of clarity of the range of types of courses we offer. You will notice that some of these concentrations fit already existing majors such as Applied, Globalization, and Corrections. You can either major in these areas, or complete the General major with courses that fit a specific area.

By grouping courses in this way, you can also see ways to combine different interest areas. You may be interested in inequality in general, so courses from Gender, Ethnicity, and Inequality may be a good fit. Some of you may want to study Applied aspects of Global issues. Since prison populations are aging, you may want to focus on Corrections and Life Course.

There are a wide range of ways to combine these areas or focus on one. Hopefully, this list allows you to make a bit more sense out of what is offered in the Sociology major.
