California Polytechnic State University, Pomona

What you'll study

Course offerings include lower- and upper-division classes focused on sociological theory, methods, and a variety of content areas. Specific course descriptions and any prerequisites or corequisites are listed in the Cal Poly Pomona University Catalog under the Sociology department; students should consult that catalogue to view current courses and required prerequisites.

Entry requirements

To declare the Sociology minor, students must contact a Sociology faculty member who will process the declaration on BroncoDirect. The Sociology Minor Coordinator is Dr. Anthony Ocampo (acocampo@cpp.edu). For the Criminology and Social Work minors, coordinators are Dr. Gabriele Plickert (gplickert@cpp.edu) and Dr. Kathryn Daniels (kdaniels@cpp.edu) respectively.

Career prospects

The minor provides sociological knowledge and methodological training that complements many majors. While the department notes majors often use sociology as preparation for graduate study, public administration, law, social work, or entry-level management roles, a minor similarly strengthens applications to graduate programs and careers in sectors that value social analysis and research skills.

Scholarships & funding angle

The department page does not list program-specific scholarships. Students should explore university-wide financial aid, departmental advisement, and catalog resources for funding opportunities and seek guidance from Sociology faculty or the department office for additional information.
