College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Sociology and Criminology
Major
The combined Sociology and Criminology major is excellent preparation if you are considering advanced study or careers in areas such as criminology, law, or social work. Allowing you to specialize in two related fields, combined majors draw on the knowledge and opportunities afforded by two academic departments and fields of study. Small class sizes and a campus in the midst of the large metropolitan area of Indianapolis provide internship and service learning opportunities, preparing students for graduate or professional school or careers.
Sample courses in this program include:
- SW200SO, Understanding Society
- SO205, Contemporary Social Issues
- SO303, Political Behavior, Polity and Society
- SO311, Law and Society
- SO315, Film, Media, Society
- SO345 Deviance and Social Control
