Sociologists study human behavior and what influences that behavior. It is a science that studies the origins, organization, institutions, and development of human society. Sociologists aim to understand how society works upon us and through us.
To understand society, sociologists may analyze a social institution, system, organization, or a part of it and may study social class, social status, race, gender, sexual orientation, social movements, criminal deviance and more.
Our sociology program is built around the Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree. This degree gives you a solid background in general education courses that can transfer to a four-year institution. The two most popular course offerings (SOCI 160 & 163) satisfy both the A.A. degree social science requirements as well as the state social science requirements for CORE 42.
The study of sociology prepares students for a variety of career opportunities by exposing them to the exploration of society including racial, social and economic diversity.
It also helps students interpret various forms of data to have a better understanding and appreciation of our diverse world.
These skills prepare students to participate in a team-based setting.
