It is a flexible course of study, requiring students to take the introductory course along with five other elective courses of their choice. This is designed to pair well with a wide variety of major programs, including particularly: other liberal arts majors, nursing and other related health fields, psychology, social work, and education.
Sociology courses are designed to take advantage of the unique resources of an urban campus. The curriculum emphasizes the applied aspects of sociology as well as those segments of sociology necessary for advanced study. Courses in sociology serve to broaden the understanding of all students and should be of particular interest to students preparing for careers in professional social science, education, government, law, criminal justice, urban affairs, social service, medical service fields, and business.
Requirements for Minor: 15 credit hours of sociology course work (6 of which must be completed at IU Indianapolis), with a grade of C (2.0) or better.

If you would like more coursework from the sociological perspective than a minor provides, we would encourage you to consider the Liberal Arts Dual Degree Advantage Program where IU Indianapolis students can add a liberal arts major and still graduate on time and at no extra cost.
