Transfer of Credit Toward the Major
A maximum of three outside courses may be applied toward the major and require prior approval of the department. No transfer courses will substitute for the sociology core courses, which must be completed at Oberlin College.
Coursework Completed at Other Institutions
Students who transfer sociology courses taken at other institutions may, with the approval of the department, apply certain of such courses toward the major. Requests to transfer courses taken at other institutions are evaluated on an individual basis.
Off-Campus Programs for Credit
Students are encouraged to broaden their educational experience by taking advantage of off-campus programs, preferably sometime during their junior year. Sociology majors may find the GLCA Philadelphia Center study away program of particular interest.
Course of Study
Given the breadth of the discipline, students thinking about majoring in the department should consult an advisor early in their decision process. Courses in many other disciplines add strength to a major in sociology. The particular pattern of courses chosen will vary, depending on the plans and interests of the student. The pattern should be worked out in close consultation with the major advisor.
Honors in Sociology
The department invites a number of qualified majors to apply to participate in the Honors Program in Sociology by submitting a written proposal to the department chair in the second semester of their junior year. To be eligible, students must have completed SOCI 301 and SOCI 302 by the end of their junior year. Students are not formally accepted into the honors program until the research proposal is approved by the department. The level of honors is determined by the thesis grade, assessment of oral presentation of the project, and major GPA.
