Double Majoring

Quite a few Sociology majors are double majors, combining Sociology with majors from English and History to Biology and Computer Science. People also combine Sociology with Policy Studies, WGST, and other interdisciplinary programs. Double majors take the same number of courses, and have the same core requirements for the major as single majors, with one exception. If you have taken a statistics course in another Rice department (or have transferred statistics credit from another institution) you can take the Sociology department’s statistics test. A passing grade will exempt you from the Sociology statistics requirement.
