Applied Sociological Research Minor
Applied Sociological Research Minor
The applied sociology minor emphasizes the research
aspect of sociology. It is designed to meet the needs
of students planning research-oriented careers in organizational
settings. Through both course work and field experiences,
the course sequence familiarizes students with the various
aspects of research methodology and organizations.
Requirements:
The applied sociology minor requires the completion
of at least 19 credit hours in approved courses, completion
of SOC 462 (Applied Sociological Research), and a fieldwork
placement. A maximum of four hours of the fieldwork
placement can be counted toward the minor. Students
taking SOC 260.A for the fieldwork course for the minor
must take it for four hours. Students majoring in sociology
and minoring in applied sociological research must also
complete all the requirements for the major.

A grade point average of 2.50 and permission
of the instructor is required before a field placement
may be taken. All courses listed above are prerequisites
for a field placement. With the exception of SOC
l5l and SOC 152, sociology courses taken for the applied research
minor may not be used to fulfill the requirements
for the sociology major. Applied minor courses
may, however, be used to fulfill the related hours
requirement.
Students majoring in sociology, and minoring in
applied social research, must take an additional
four semester credit hours of sociology. The four
credit hours obtained from the research methods
course (SOC 262) cannot be counted twice -- that
is, they may be used to meet either requirements
for the major or requirements for the minor, but
not both.
