Northwestern University Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 3 courses
The minor concentration in sociological research prepares students to carry out their own research by offering an introduction to the discipline, followed by an array of courses in quantitative and qualitative methods. Students learn about the gathering and preparation of data for analysis as well as a variety of techniques and methods for presenting information, arguments, and conclusions; 2 300-level courses allow students to see how these methods are used in practice. Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a minor course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a minor course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.
