Students may choose field study, internship, directed reading, or research lab and practicum. Interested students should contact the Sociology Department Chair. Working closely with a Sociology instructor to consider their interests, major/degree area, transfer, and career goals, a student develops an independent study plan, and the supervising faculty approves the enrollment and facilitates the semester completion through regular meetings and progress checks.
