The Sociology Honors Program offers outstanding students a unique chance to advance their sociological studies through graduate-level coursework and faculty-guided research projects. Beginning with Sociology 100A, the Honors version of Introduction to Sociology, and progressing to SOC 300A, the Honors Principles of Sociological Inquiry, participants enjoy small class sizes and personalized mentorship throughout the program.
Enrolled Sociology majors gain additional advantages through the program's integrated structure. Certain Sociology courses count toward Honors requirements—for instance, SOC 491 can replace HON 491—allowing students to earn Honors distinction without extending their graduation timeline. Participants must still fulfill all standard degree requirements.
Beyond the listed courses, the Sociology Department strongly encourages students to explore other Honors offerings. The HON 300-level classes, such as HON 301, 303, and 380, focus on public policy education, civic participation, and leadership development—valuable skills across all academic disciplines.

Qualification Requirements
To be considered for admission, you must have completed or are in the process of completing secondary school with a cumulative or overall grade point average (GPA) that is comparable to a US grade of B (3.00 on a 4.00 scale) or higher. The Admissions Committee will also be looking at the grades/marks you have received for Mathematics and Science courses.
All official transcripts, examination certifications (e.g., General Certificate of Education) and other documents showing all high school and any completed post-secondary work must be submitted to the Office of Admissions. All official transcripts must be mailed directly by the institution or Ministry of Education to the Office of Admissions. Documents mailed or hand carried by you or anyone else will not be accepted as official or used for admission consideration.
Secondary school transcripts must include a list of courses taken and grades/internal marks received each year, class rank for the last four years of secondary school, and an explanation of the school's grading system. If transcripts with annual internal marks are unavailable directly from the school, you may photocopy your mark sheets or grade reports and have them certified by a school official who verifies that a transcript is otherwise not available.
