BA in Sociology
or BA in Sociology with a Concentration in Social Psychology
To qualify for a B.A. degree in sociology, a student must complete a minimum of 35 semester hours in sociology from required courses. A grade of C or better is required in all courses counted toward the major, including transfer courses. All sociology majors may be required to complete an examination for program assessment purposes as a requirement for graduation. Performance on such an examination will not affect students’ grade point averages, nor will it be a factor in determining whether students qualify for the baccalaureate degree.
Transfer students must earn at least 12 semester hours of the required advanced or core courses (SOC 300, SOC 310, and/or SOC 300–400-level courses) while in residence at UAB.
