• Creating a Public Sociology Concentration:  (18 hours) With the help of the Public Sociology Coordinator, you will design a substantive area of focus for your Public Sociology Program requirements.  Essentially, you will need to identify six three hour courses in a substantive area.  There are many options in designing your substantive area.   You should meet with the Public Sociology Coordinator early to design your concentration area.   On the back of this sheet are a few examples of possible ways to create substantive areas:
