Topical courses at the 100 level provide an introduction to a specific facet of sociology. Courses at the 200 level provide a broad introduction to the field. Basic courses are Introduction to Sociology ( SOC 204 ) and Social Inequality ( SOC 207 ) . Completion of one 200-level course is a major requirement. One must also be taken to advance to some 300-level courses. Courses at the 300 level extend the student’s knowledge of subjects covered in the 200-level courses and provide an introduction to social research methods and social theory. Courses at the 400 level are advanced and specialized. Most build on background obtained in the 100-, 200- and 300-level courses. As prerequisites for enrollment in some 400-level courses, students must successfully complete one or more of the core courses: Social Theory ( SOC 310 ) , Research Methods ( SOC 311 ) , Statistical Analysis in Sociology ( SOC 312 ) . Upper-division (300- and 400-level) classes are usually smaller in size than the lower-division classes and provide more opportunity for faculty-student interaction.
