How many minors must I select?
Three. However, these must be from different departments. For example, you couldn’t do a minor in medical sociology and general sociology.
Do they have to be from different departments?
Yes. No 2 minors can be from the same department.
Why does my audit say “Not Satisfied” even though I completed the minor?
For Social Sciences B.S. majors, the myKnight audit will read “At Least One Declared Program Not Satisfied” if any declared major or minor requirements are still in progress. Example: If a student has completed all requirements for the major except in one of the minors, each status of the audit will reflect as not satisfied. This will remain the status until all declared programs are satisfied.
What is the Social Sciences exit exam?
All Social Sciences majors must take a multiple choice exam during their last semester at UCF in order to graduate. It is not necessary to “pass” but failure to complete the exam will put a hold on your graduation.
You will be contacted through your knights email when it is time to take the exam. The exam is online through Webcourses and must be completed by the assigned deadline.
Am I required to take college level foreign language?
No addition language requirement is needed beyond that for your General Education program.
Who is my assigned advisor?
Dr. Mike Armato (michael.armato@ucf.edu) is your major (Social Sciences) advisor.
