Health, Society and Policy - Minor

This minor is offered through the Department of Sociology in the School of Arts and Sciences.

Students may substitute SOC 202 with PSY 350 or SSS 340 AND SSS 341.

Students in any department can count only two courses from their departments as counting towards both this minor and their major. Remaining electives for the minor should be taken outside their department. (E.g., Sociology students can only count two courses from this minor towards their major, and will need to take 4 electives from outside Sociology).
