Students taking a double major in Sociology and Anthropology receive a reduction of 13 credits compared to the total number of credits required for the two majors separately. Each major includes 4 required courses, but SOCY 300 is required for both majors, so double majors must complete 7 required courses. Double majors must also complete 9 elective courses (4 sociology courses, 4 anthropology courses, and 1 course that can be either sociology or anthropology), instead of the 12 required if both majors were taken separately.
