The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has launched a new webpage to promote the availability of upcoming undergraduate courses to our students. This webpage can be found at:

The Sociology Department offers several undergraduate programs:

• Major in Sociology
• Honours in Sociology
• Minor in Sociology
• Major, minor, or cerificate in Criminology

Declaring a Major/Minor

Students can declare a Sociology Major or Minor by going to the Registrar's Office and completing a Declaration/Change of Academic Program form. Students are advised to declare their Major and their Minor (or second Major) no later than the semester in which they attend the University following the completion of 18 credit hours.

The Undergraduate Liaison, Dr. Lisa-Jo van den Scott (lvandenscott@mun.ca), answers questions about sociology course selection at the undergraduate level. Planning your degree program early in your degree is an essential part of a successful appraoch to your studies in the Department of Sociology.

For information on general arts degree requirements, please contact the Faculty of HSS and Office of the Registrar.
