Students may select GSWS/SOCI 202 or SOCI 247 as an applications option if the course is NOT being used as an option for the foundations requirement.
Double majors may elect to substitute a capstone outside of GSWS for the GSWS capstone. Education minors may elect to substitute three hours of student teaching for the GSWS capstone. In both cases, students must complete any additional hours towards the 30-31 hours for the major with GSWS courses above the 200 level.
