Seminar requirements

One seminar paper in Sociology.

Students who took this course in its previous, 4-credit format may take 2 fewer credits in required courses in Sociology; however, they still must take 51 credits altogether in Sociology (required courses and electives).

For students who took Surveys and Public Opinion Research (10350) before Fall 2007, or those for whom it appears in their approved program of studies, the course counts as an elective course in Sociology. Credits for Socialization (10376), for students who took it in the past, count as advanced elective credits.

General Requirements for a dual-disciplinary degree

Fulfilling all requirements as detailed here.

  • Accumulating credits required for the degree

  • Fulfilling all requirements in both disciplines

  • English language proficiency

  • Bibliographic instruction

Before enrolling in any course, students must ensure that they have taken all the prerequisites for it, even when the prerequisites are not included among the courses listed above.

General note regarding combining two fields

When combining fields in a dual-disciplinary program, students are required to take the basic studies in both fields. If a course is required in both fields, taking it fulfills the requirements of both. If a course is required in one field and is an elective in the other, it can only be taken as a required course in the relevant field. If a course is an elective in both fields, it will only grant credits in one of the fields.

For specific requirements when combining fields, see the individual combinations of fields (in Hebrew).
