Sociology Research Lab

3 Credits.

This course provides "hands on" research experience applying sociological research tools and a sociological perspective to problems of substance. Students will design and carry out a research project and write a research report. This course is restricted to Juniors and Seniors only. Instructor permission required for prerequisite exemptions for all students (majors and non-majors). Sophomores require instructor permission. This course is meant to be the culmination of sociology major’s training in research methods and an opportunity for students to get their hands dirty doing actual research and discovering new 3 things. Faculty instructors may emphasize different data sources and methods in different years, but the goal will always be to give students real world sociological research experience.
