Advising Course Plan - Social Science Major

  • Social Science majors must complete their senior project in their primary area of concentration.  Moreover, they must satisfy the collateral requirements and prerequisites of the senior project course in their primary discipline, with any exception to be determined by the department chair of the primary area. Departmental prerequisites and the senior project course count toward the seven units in the primary area of concentration.
  • Social Science majors may not major or minor in either their primary or secondary area of concentration.
  • Collateral requirements for the major include one course each in two social science disciplines outside of the primary and secondary areas of concentration.
