Do I need to take Intro to Sociology, Research Methods, Social Theory, and Statistics in any specific order?
No. We recommend Statistics before Methods, but that is only a recommendation; any sequence is acceptable. Students who are thinking of doing an honors thesis, or any serious research project in their junior or senior year, should try to take Methods, Social Theory, and Statistics as early as possible. These courses must be taken during the regular academic year; they may not be taken in the evening or summer sessions. One exception to this rule is that BC summer or evening courses taught by a regular, full-time member of the Sociology Department will usually be accepted.
