- Sociology 750: Research Methods in Sociology
- Sociology 773: Intermediate Classical Theory
- Four seminars in Sociology taught by Sociology or Community & Environmental Sociology faculty. (These courses may or may not be labeled “Seminar,” but they’re typically numbered between 900 and 979; training research courses — i.e., those numbered between 980 and 995 — don’t count toward the seminar requirement.)
Additional courses required for students affiliated with the Center for Demography & Ecology (CDE):
- Soc 663: Population and Society
- Soc 674: Elementary Demographic Techniques

Each semester, throughout the graduate program, CDE students also enroll in:

Minor Requirement:
- Option A, external: a minimum of nine graduate credits in one department or program (either single disciplinary or multi-disciplinary) outside of both Sociology and Community & Environmental Sociology.
- Option B, distributed: a minimum of nine graduate credits in two or more departments outside of both Sociology and Community & Environmental Sociology. The courses must be thematically unified and thus form a coherent topic. The nine credits for the Option B Minor may include one (but no more than one) course cross-listed with Sociology or Community & Environmental Sociology, but no courses may be taught by either Sociology or Community & Environmental Sociology professors.
