Students learn the major theories and research methods used by sociologists, as well as develop the ability to analyze critical aspects of contemporary society. This major fulfills the Transfer Model Curriculum for transfer to California State University (CSU) campuses.
The Sociology Associate in Arts for Transfer degree is designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree.
