Starting from the 112th academic year, four required courses will provide foundational knowledge, theoretical literacy, and research methods in sociology. The 25 elective credits will offer substantial knowledge in specific areas, while three required courses from other departments will provide foundational interdisciplinary knowledge in the humanities and social sciences. Based on this foundation, students can combine courses according to their interests, inclinations, and career plans. They can take more elective courses in sociology to progress towards professional training in sociology. Alternatively, they can take various courses from other departments to explore different directions and enrich their knowledge outside of sociology. Additionally, they can use the flexibility in course selection to pursue minors and double majors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-tabs uagb-block-d4b14b42 uagb-tabs__wrap uagb-tabs__vstyle8-desktop uagb-tabs__vstyle6-tablet uagb-tabs__stack1-mobile\" data-tab-active=\"0\"><ul class=\"uagb-tabs__panel uagb-tabs__align-left\" role=\"tablist\"><li class=\"uagb-tab uagb-tabs__active\" role=\"none\"><a href=\"#uagb-tabs__tab0\" class=\"uagb-tabs-list uagb-tabs__icon-position-left\" data-tab=\"0\" role=\"tab\"><div>Required Courses<\/div><\/a><\/li><li class=\"uagb-tab \" role=\"none\"><a href=\"#uagb-tabs__tab1\" class=\"uagb-tabs-list uagb-tabs__icon-position-left\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\"><div>Required Elective Courses<\/div><\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"uagb-tabs__body-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-tabs-child uagb-tabs__body-container uagb-inner-tab-0\" aria-labelledby=\"uagb-tabs__tab0\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Required Courses<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Course Title<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Credits<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Year<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Course Time<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sociology<\/td><td>6 credits<\/td><td>Freshmen<\/td><td>Tue. 234 (+Discussion Session)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Social Statistics<\/td><td>4 credits<\/td><td>Freshmen (First half)<\/td><td>Fri. 234 <br>Fri. 56<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Advanced Social Statistics<\/td><td>4 credits<\/td><td>Freshmen (Second half)<\/td><td>Fri. 234 <br>Fri. 56<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Social Research Methods<\/td><td>8 credits<\/td><td>Sophomore<\/td><td>Wed. 234 <br>Fri. 89<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Social Psychology*<\/td><td>3 credits<\/td><td>Sophomore (Second half)<\/td><td>Wed. 789<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sociology Theories*<\/td><td>6 credits<\/td><td>Junior<\/td><td>Tue. 234<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*For students admitted in Academic Year 2023 and thereafter, \u201cSocial Psychology\u201d is no longer a required course.
