The Department of Sociology at the University of Michigan welcomes transfer students into our major and minors. We have found transfer students to be some of the most dedicated and successful students in our department, and we are here to assist during your time at the University of Michigan. We are also here to support current majors and minors interested in taking a summer transfer course at a local college or tranferring in credits from abroad.
First, review the Sociology Transfer Guide.
When should you submit a course petition?
- When a transfer course is on your transcript as "SOC DEPT" or "STATS 201X" and you want know if it can count as a Sociology pre-req, stats requirement, or sub-major/minor elective.
- When a transfer course is on your transcript as "INTERSS" or another dept and you think it has substantial sociological content and you want to know if it can count in a Soc major/minor.
- When you're planning to take (or have alreayd taken) a study abroad (or transfer) course and you want to know if it can count in a Soc major/minor.
- When you've taken a course at UM in another LSA department and you want to know if it can count in a Soc major/minor.
