BA/BS in Sociology

Washington State University provides a sociology degree, a Bachelor of Arts, fully online in the arts and sciences college. The major treats society as an object of scientific study, looking at social interaction, groups, organizations and cultural institutions. Topics range widely, from inequality and deviance to religion, medicine and politics. That breadth helps students analyze social problems and question assumptions about why people act as they do. Students may begin in spring, summer or fall, with an application cutoff ahead of each term. Because every course is taught over the internet, students can pursue the degree without relocating to a campus. Prospective students can request information or apply directly from the program page, and should check the stated cutoff for the term they want before preparing an application.
