Sociology Degree -
As noted in an ESPN 'Outside the Lines' special, many Duke players major in Sociology - which provides an 'easy' courseload and is not a popular major amongst the general student population. Jason Williams and Carlos Boozer both majored in Sociology.
An ESPN 'Outside the Lines' program questioned the academics and suggested the school bends entry requirements for basketball recruits. Krzyzewski dismissed the report as 'bogus' and 'lies.' ...
The ESPN show suggested some players are taking 'easy' classes and majors to get their degrees and noted that an unusually high number of players are studying sociology, which is considered a light course taken by only a small percentage of the student body.
According to this season's media guide, three of the seven players who have decided on majors chose sociology. Williams, the second overall pick by the Chicago Bulls, graduated in three years with a sociology degree. Boozer, a second-round pick by Cleveland, also was a sociology major.
Funny how idiots like Dick Vitale goes on about Dookies graduating in 3 years - considering the course load they were taking, it wasn't that difficult!
Also on the ESPN special was a part about Carlos Boozer getting credit while playing for a National team in China, and Jason Williams' report for Sociology class - 'What I did last summer'.
