Degree Requirements . . . 
 
In 1999 the Core course requirements were altered for students seeking a degree in Management & Society. Rising seniors of Fall 1999 must follow the former Industrial Relations requirements; a Core requirement is SOCI 143, but SOCI 112 is NOT. For students entering the major as first-semester juniors in Fall 1999 or later, the new requirements apply.

All students, regardless of year, must earn at least 21 hours of “C” or better in their 10 Core courses. These courses may NOT be taken Pass/Fail.
