SOAN 490 - Senior Seminar in Anthropology and Sociology I

This 1 credit hour course is the first in a two course capstone sequence for Sociology/Anthropology majors. It is designed to encourage reflection on personal/academic progress and life goals and to guide graduating seniors through the choice of careers and/or graduate programs. Students will meet weekly to prepare materials to use in applying to professional jobs or graduate school. We will work closely with the Career Center throughout the semester. Students will organize a portfolio including a statement of purpose, resume or CV, and materials showcasing their progress and accomplishments in the major. Discussions this semester should help students select the work they will polish for a wider audience in the second capstone course.

Prerequisites: Senior status, SOAN major.
Credits: 1 hour
When Offered: (fall only)
NOTE: This course counts toward the 63-hour Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) graduation requirement.
