BA Sociology - TUG

In addition to the Gardner-Webb University General Education requirements, the student must complete a minimum of 30 hours of sociology courses. Students are encouraged to complete one or more minors or a second major in addition to their Sociology major.

The Degree Plan is just a suggestion of what a four year course of study might look like. There is plenty of flexibility for the student. Academic departments reserve the right to alter the term in which a course is offered.
