Program details

Overview

Arkansas State offers a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology for students curious about why people behave as they do in groups. Courses examine gender, sexuality, ethnicity, age and violence, and show how cultural history and social expectations steer individual decisions. The curriculum leans on research methods and the analysis of data, so students practice testing ideas instead of only reading about them. Faculty guide small teams through projects that tackle community questions. The versatile skill set suits roles in social services, human resources, law and sales. Students who prefer a remote format can take the same degree online, and the first fall classes begin on August 19, 2026. Prospective students should check the program page for current course lists and contact the admissions office with questions about eligibility, timing and transfer credit.
