A student selecting the extended major emphasis in corrections will take the required 18 hours listed above for sociology majors and 18 additional hours including SOC 408, 411, 440, and 441. The remaining hours will include supporting course work in sociology, in criminal justice, and in related disciplines to be chosen in consultation with the advisor. 2.
