How do I declare my Minor in Medical Sociology?

The procedure is quite simple. Complete the application form (print off the form here) or stop by the Sociology Department office (Cavanaugh 303) and request an application form for a medical minor in sociology. Then fill it out and return it to the sociology office. We will check to make sure that all is in order and then notify the SLA office to add the medical minor to your transcript. You will receive an e-mail when this has been done. The one thing to remember is to be sure that you do this BEFORE you graduate.
