Combined Majors in Sociology & Criminology

The Sociology and Criminology department offers two combined majors within our own department as well as five combined majors with departments outside of our own — one with the History/Anthropology/Classics Department, one with the Philosophy/Religious Studies Department, one with the Political Science Department, and two with the Psychology Department.

These combined majors give students the opportunity to specialize in two related fields and are excellent preparation for students considering advanced study and/or careers in areas such as criminology, criminal justice, law, social work, counseling, or sociology.

Combined majors require more coursework than a regular major, but less coursework than completing a major in each subject area separately (i.e., double majoring). Students completing a combined major receive one degree.

The information found on this website with respect to major/minor/program requirements is primarily directed at providing prospective students a general roadmap of the curriculum. Current Butler students are expected to review their degree audit report at my.butler.edu and speak with their advisor regularly for detailed information regarding their specific degree requirements and their progress toward degree completion.
