1st Year Students

This page is designed to help first-year Acadia students majoring in Sociology choose their courses. We recommend that students in their first year complete what is known as the Arts CORE, which is  required for all Bachelor of Arts students. 

As a Sociology major in your first year we suggest you take:

6 HRS   Sociology, you need two 3-hour (half-year) courses. You may take: SOCI 1013, SOCI 1033, SOCI 1113 or WGST 1413.*

6 HRS   English (ENGL 1413/1423, 1483/1493, or 1213/1223) **

6 HRS   A language other than English (FRAN, SPAN, GERM, LATI, GREE). NOTE: you must take 6 hours of the same language.

6 HRS   Humanities [ART (NOT ART 2013,2023,2113,2123,3013, 3023), CLAS, CREL, HIST, PHIL OR WGST]

6 HRS   Pure & Applied Science (BIOL, CHEM, COMP, APSC, ENVS, GEOL, MATH, NUTR, PHYS, or PSYC)

NOTE: You need to have completed 6 hours of introductory Sociology to register for sociology courses in your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years.

*  These courses are very popular, please be sure to register as soon as you can. If no seats are available place yourself on the waitlist.

** If there is any chance that you will want to take upper-level  ENGL courses, you should register for either ENGL  1413 & ENGL 1423 or ENGL 1483 & ENGL 1493 as these are the prerequisites for further study in English at Acadia University.

We are available to help with registration. Please contact Sociology Advising
