Degrees and Requirements
| The BA degree requires a minimum of 33 semester hours and the BS degree requires 45 semester hours. Courses taken pass/nonpass do not count toward the semester hour requirement in sociology. A GPA of 2.0 in sociology courses is required of majors (you must meet this both with and without transfer credit). Students may satisfy no more than 15 semester hours of their total hour requirement in the major with sociology courses transferred from other schools. In addition to completing the required courses listed below, the Sociology Major requires the completion of a Portfolio with representative samples of the student's work and progress in the major. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Note to Graduating Seniors:If the three documents required for the portfolio already exist on your Capstone web page, simply email the link to your web page to soc-majors@uiowa.edu by 4pm on the Thursday before graduation to fulfill the portfolio requirement for graduation. It is okay if your web page includes other materials besides these three documents, but the three documents must be there. We are phasing out hardcopy submissions. If the documents are not on your Capstone web page, just email the three documents to the same email address using the same deadline. You also need to complete the Future Plans Survey before you can graduate. The survey can be downloaded by clicking here: Survey. Complete it and email it to soc-majors@uiowa.edu with the portfolio link or documents using the same deadline. |
