SocialStrawberry

I was surprised by this because for a number of reasons. 1. I had never heard this plan mentioned before the meeting 2. The courses in the Sociology program seem all encompassing and interesting and I hadn't considered an interest in any other program 3. My undergrad work was very diverse. Of course broadening your interests is a great thing to do. Auditing classes is a smart choice, thanks for the idea.

Hi everyone. I'm in my first semester in my program of Sociology, with an applied research specialty. I recently met with my advisor to plan the courses I will take in the future, and he strongly encouraged me to take a few electives outside of the sociology program. I was surprised by this. He said to take courses that I feel would expand and enrich my sociological interests. I have a BS in Psychology and a BA in Sociology, and all the Sociology classes offered are very interesting to me. I'm not sure if this is a ploy to make more money for the University? If it is a good idea, I don't know what classes would be right for my career path. Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks for your feedback.
