Considering graduate school?
Need help?
Need help deciding if sociology
or archaeological studies is the major you want to declare? You're invited to meet
with the department chair Kim Vogt or any other faculty advisor at any time to ask questions and explore
various options. Office hours for every faculty member are
posted on their office doors. If you're thinking of declaring the major, we
encourage you to do so as soon as possible in order to establish
a plan of study and be eligible to take courses restricted only
to majors.

The department has programs leading to the
B.A. and B.S. in sociology and archaeology and minors in
sociology, anthropology, and criminal justice.
For more detailed information about each
program, see the program summary for each:
archaeology,
anthropology,
criminal justice, and
sociology.
If you have
any additional questions, or if you need help deciding if an
archaeological studies or sociology degree is right for you,
stop by and see the department chair Kim Vogt or talk to one of
the faculty members. Office hours are posted right outside each
faculty member's
office door.
Archaeological Studies Pre-majors: To
register as a pre-major in Archaeological
Studies, you must first declare your
intention by filling out a form at the
College of Liberal Studies office. If
the available slots for the pre-major/major
are filled, priority is assigned on the date
you submitted the form, so the sooner you
declare the major the better.
Prior to the
application for the major, the following
archaeology courses must be completed with a
minimum GPA of 3.00: ARC 195, ARC 200, and
two additional 200- or 300-level archaeology
courses. These courses will apply
toward the major after acceptance into the
program. Additionally, students must
have completed at least 32 total credits
with a minimum GPA of 2.50 for all
university work and then complete the
Archaeological Studies Major application
form in order to become an Archaeological
Studies Major. Admittance to the
program may be limited and competitive.
Prior to satisfying the requirements,
students pursuing the Archaeological Studies
Major will be designated as Pre-ARC majors.
Sociology Majors: In order
to declare a sociology major, you must complete a major
declaration form in the College of Liberal Studies Office.
Students declaring sociology as a major should take SOC 110 as
soon as possible, since it is a pre-requisite for most of the
other
sociology major requirements. Once you
have declared, you will also be able to
register for some classes that are
restricted to majors/minors only.

Three different minors are available
in the department:
Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice.
To
declare any one of these minors, go to the College of Liberal
Studies Office and ask to
complete a "change of minor" form.
When to apply for graduation
Plan to apply for graduation at least one
semester prior to your semester. For example, if you're
graduating in the Spring, you'll need to apply for graduation
during the Fall.
How to apply for graduation
Make an appointment with an advisor in the
College of Liberal Studies
to do a
credit check. Plan to do this well in advance of registration.
Plan to bring a copy of your SNAP so your coursework can be
evaluated (unofficial is fine, off the web). The final step
will be to turn in your intent to graduate form. These forms are
available in the College of Liberal Studies.
