Students choose their Primary Concentration from nine fields spanning the Birdsong School of Social Science and the D. Henry Watts School of Professional Studies: Business, Criminal Justice, Education, History, Political Science, Psychology, Recreation and Leisure Services, Social Welfare, and Sociology. Two Secondary Concentrations, each requiring 8 hours at the 300/400 level, round out the program and tie back to the primary field. The major begins with SOSCI 200, taken as early as possible, where students design their individualized plan of study and file a formal Declaration of Major with the Registrar's Office — required at least three semesters before graduation. The program concludes with SOSCI 400, a senior capstone seminar that integrates the primary and secondary concentrations into a single research project and gives students space to reflect on their next steps after graduation.
