AA/AS in Sociology

Cuesta College prepares students for a sociology major at a four-year school through this program, which considers contemporary social life, culture, how societies are structured, and how people interact. Students sharpen critical thinking, reading, and analytical abilities. Both a regular Associate in Arts and an Associate in Arts for Transfer exist; the transfer version promises junior standing at a California State University campus in a related major. The subject also helps those headed to law, teaching, medicine, counseling, or other social science studies. Students who want to look further can open the matching area-of-study page on the Cuesta College website. It lays out sequences of courses meant to help with choosing classes each term and with planning what comes after graduation, whether that means transfer, work, or more study. The division also lists a contact for specific questions about the subject.
