This list is
intended to guide sociology major students
in their selection of courses. While it is
not entirely impossible for a first year student
to take a course intended for second and third year
students, we do not encourage it in the interest
of learning effectiveness. If a course is listed
under “All years” or “Years 1 and 2,” it is
available to first year students but they should
be aware that the course may be “marginal
for Year 1.” Second and third year students
should also note the suitability level of the
courses they intend to take.
