A central part of the undergraduate program is an advising system that emphasizes three main principles.

A.  Announcing.  Students come to sociology as entering freshman, though not commonly.  The bulk of majors are transfers from other majors, transfers from community colleges, or students looking for a good quality generic pre- major.  As such, we believe it is important to provide early descriptions of all aspects of our program as described in this web format.

B.  Monitoring.  Students change plans in mid-student career.  Our advisors see each sociology major each semester and plan with them steps toward the degree, and career plans.

C.  Completing.  As many themes of our undergraduate program display, we value students completing the degree in a timely fashion.  Also, our advisors work with students to make expedient plans for graduate school applications and for refinement of credentials for competition for jobs.
