Sociology—Public Sociology Concentration
Recommended Four-Year Plan (Fall 2011)
This recommended four-year plan is designed to provide a blueprint for students to complete their degrees within four years. These
plans are the recommended sequences of courses. Students must meet with their Major Advisor to develop a more individualized
plan to complete their degree. This plan assumes that no developmental courses are required. If developmental courses are
needed, students may have additional requirements to fulfill which are not listed in the plan and degree completion may take
longer.
NOTE: This recommended Four-Year Plan is applicable to students admitted into the major during the 2011-2012 academic year.
