Sociology
Sociology is a good fit for students who are curious about culture, social behavior, societal structures, and the factors that influence human interactions. Students can expect to study topics such as cultural diversity, social theory, group dynamics, deviance, socialization, research methods, power, the economy, family, and religion.
Apply NowWhile we recommend that sociology students earn the Associate of Science (AS), an AA in Sociology is also available. The Associate of Arts has the same requirements as the AS with the addition of a foreign language (complete a 1020-level language course). Please see your academic advisor for full details.
