ASSOCIATE IN ARTS IN SOCIOLOGY FOR
TRANSFER DEGREE
(MAJOR
#R.7610.AA-T)
Sociology is the scientific, systematic study of human
society and social interaction. The sociological perspective
is a powerful tool to critically analyze and understand
contemporary society at the local, regional, national,
and global levels. Sociology focuses on face-to-face social
interactions as well as on large-scale social institutions such
as economy, politics, education, mass media, religion, and
the criminal justice system. Sociology’s subject matter ranges
from the intimate family setting to the large, impersonal
organization, from the world of work to the world of sport,
from social divisions of class, race, and gender to cultural
bonds based on shared values and traditions. It emphasizes
how individual behavior is influenced by the structure
of society and how individual behavior can influence the
structure of society. All classes emphasize multicultural and
gender issues.
A sociology major usually transfers to a four-year institution
to complete a Bachelor’s Degree. Because of the broad scope
of subject matter, sociology is excellent preparation for a
wide range of career paths, including teaching, journalism,
law, business, communications, nonprofit management,
corrections/law enforcement, social work, counseling, urban
planning, public service, and politics.
