AA/AS in Sociology

Cañada College in Redwood City, California offers an A.A. degree in Sociology; the program approaches society as a discipline that is scientific as well as humanistic, asking what shapes social organization and behavior and how personal problems connect to public issues. The catalog entry also lists related degrees and certificates, the learning outcomes expected of students, and the complete list of required courses for anyone planning ahead. Students complete core courses in the major and then add general education and electives until the total reaches the associate degree minimum. Meeting with a counselor in the first semester helps align the plan with transfer goals. Course availability can change from term to term, so the schedule of classes is worth checking as well. The field underlies work in schools, social services, legal settings, business, corrections, health care, government and policy research. Students should confirm current requirements in the college catalog and with an academic counselor before registering.
