Program Description

Program is designed for students wanting to complete the first 2 years of a bachelor's degree at the community college and transfer to a university to complete a BA in Sociology.  Social factors and human behaviors in society are explored.  Careers often require a BA degree or higher. Sociology is the study of human social behavior, including its organization and the way it has developed over time.  Sociology is a social science that explores human social groups, social problems, and change.  This program introduces students to Sociology, and it includes courses that are common to all four-year institutions in Colorado.  Career paths for Sociology degree holders include management, human resources, training and development, research, social services, mental health services, adoption, childcare, youth services, disability services, child welfare, victims’ rights, labor rights, community organization, and public relations.   

The Associate of Arts (AA) degree in Sociology prepares students to complete the second half of a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Sociology at a four-year university.
