Students taking a double major in Sociology and Social Work receive a significant reduction in the total number of courses required. The following courses count for both majors: SOCY 101, which is required of all social work majors, and SOCY 300 and SOCY 301, which counts as the social work methods and statistics courses. In addition, all social work majors must complete a minor, and three elective sociology or anthropology courses can be used for this purpose. To turn the minor into a major, you need to take only SOCY 409 and two more sociology or anthropology courses because SOWK 388 counts as a sociology course for purpose of double major. (SOWK 388 does not count towards the sociology minor).

Students taking a double major in Sociology and Anthropology receive a reduction of 13 credits compared to the total number of credits required for the two majors separately. Each major includes 4 required courses, but SOCY 300 is required for both majors, so double majors must complete 7 required courses. Double majors must also complete 9 elective courses (4 sociology courses, 4 anthropology courses, and 1 course that can be either sociology or anthropology), instead of the 12 required if both majors were taken separately.
