Sociology at Columbia College: what LionPlan checks

LionPlan is an unofficial student project. It is a companion to Stellic and Vergil, not a replacement, and it does not replace CSA advising. This page is live for Columbia College.

Tell us your school, your major, and what you have taken. A course card then shows what a class satisfies (“Satisfies Probability / Statistics”) and what it unlocks (“Opens up 7 more courses”), plus the section time and instructor rating.

The groups below are the ones LionPlan actually checks for this program. They were transcribed from the 2026-2027 Bulletin. Confirm them with your school before you register.

  1. Core Courses

    All of these

    All of these: SOCI UN1000, SOCI UN3000, SOCI UN3010.

    All three, and all three gate the rest of the major: Social Theory and Methods both want The Social World first, and the Senior Seminar cannot be taken until Methods is finished. Each carries a required 0-point discussion section (SOCI UN1100, SOCI UN3001, SOCI UN3011) that is not matched here. The Bulletin calls this block 10 points; its own course listings put all three at 4 points, which is 12 — so the major runs 32-33 points rather than the published 30-31.

  2. Elective Courses

    N matching

    6 courses matching SOCI courses, numbered 1000 to 4999, excluding SOCI UN1100, SOCI UN2211, SOCI UN3001, SOCI UN3011, SOCI UN3103, SOCI UN3676, not counting courses already used for another group in this program.

    Six more courses in the Department of Sociology, on top of the three core courses. At least three must be lecture courses at the 2000 or 3000 level and at least two must be seminars — a split this audit cannot check, so the two groups below are yours to confirm. The twelve courses the Bulletin prints are examples, not the whole list: any Sociology course counts. The 0-point discussion sections attached to lecture courses are not counted here. If you take the two-semester Senior Seminar, your sixth course must be a seminar.

  3. Lecture Courses

    Attested

    You confirm this yourself. At least three of your six electives must be lecture courses at the 2000 or 3000 level, normally 3 points each. Whether a Sociology course is a lecture or a seminar is not something its number tells you — the department's 3000-level range holds both — so this one is yours to confirm.

  4. Seminars

    Attested

    You confirm this yourself. At least two of your six electives must be seminars, normally 4 points each. If you take the two-semester Senior Seminar (SOCI UN3995-SOCI UN3996), your sixth elective must also be a seminar — a condition on how another requirement was satisfied, which this audit cannot express. As with the lecture requirement, no course number tells you whether a Sociology course is a seminar, so this one is yours to confirm.
