Requirements for the Minor
A. SOC 155b (Social Movements and the Political Process)
Normally this course will be taken within the first two years of study. It is strongly recommended as an introduction to the program, but is not a formal prerequisite for other courses.
B. Three elective courses
Electives are grouped into areas of inquiry, but students may choose courses from any group. No more than two electives from the Heller School or from any single department may be counted toward program requirements, except for the foundation course.
C. Internship
Either (1) an internship approved by the SJSP internship director and the successful completion of one of the related SOC 89a or SJSP 89a seminars; OR (2) successful completion of SOC 182a (Applied Research Methods) or WMGS 89a (Internship in WMGS: Prevention of Violence against Women and Children).
Internships undertaken for other majors or minors will not fulfill this requirement. For option (1) above, the internship experience and the internship seminar combined count as one academic course.
D. One additional course approved by a program advisor.
Please Note
No more than two courses may be double-counted for this minor and for any particular major.
A passing letter grade must be obtained in each course taken for the program. Pass/fail grading option is not allowed for courses taken toward the minor. Students must achieve a GPA of at least 2.00 in all courses for the program.
