Sociology

Sociology is the scientific study of society, including social interactions, social organization, social behavior, and human groups.

Topics of study include culture, socialization, deviance, social problems, and social institutions (media, religion, government, economy, family, and education). Famous people with Sociology degrees include Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, President Ronald Reagan, Michelle Obama, and sportscaster Ahmad Rashad.

 This Associates degree is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college. A graduate degree in the field opens the doors to a career in research or college level teaching.

However, an Associates degree paves the way into entry level positions in a number of fields such as social services, customer service, human resources, marketing, corrections, non-profit organizations, business, consumer research, government agencies, and more.
