Prerequisite Revision Review

Dept / Program
Sociology
SOCI 441
Prefix & Course #
Course Title
Capstone in Inequality and Social Justice
Has the Department gone through common course review?
X Yes □No □In process
If Yes or In Process please use new rubric / numbers.
Rationale 
SOCI 220 was our entry course into the option, but we have found that a variety of courses might serve the
same purpose, most notably SOCI 275S. In order to facilitate enrollment, we have removed SOCI 220S and
replaced it with the more flexible “two inequality and social justice courses.”
