Associate of Arts for Transfer Degree

The Sociology Associate Degree for Transfer (A.A.-T) is designed for students who intend to pursue a degree in sociology or a related discipline, and who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university. The degree guarantees admission to the CSU system (but not to a particular campus or major). This degree will prepare all students for success in any higher education degree program.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Sociology program coursework, students will be able to:

1. Understand the interrelationships of individuals, social groups, social institutions, culture and society.
2. Analyze the interaction of individuals, social groups, social institutions, and cultures using social science research methods and major sociological perspectives.
