Sociologists study society and social behavior by examining
the groups and social institutions people form, as well as various social,
religious, political, and business organizations. Sociologists are concerned
with the characteristics of social groups, organizations, and institutions;
the ways individuals are affected by each other and by the groups to
which they belong; and the effect of social traits such as sex, age,
or race on a person’s daily life. The results of sociological research
aid educators, lawmakers, administrators, and others interested in resolving
social problems and formulating public policy.
The Associate in Arts degree in Sociology is intended to
provide you with the first two years of general requirements and a basis
in sociology that will prepare you for transfer to a 4 year college or
university.
Most sociologists work in one or more specialties,
such as social organization, stratification, and mobility; racial and
ethnic relations; education; family; social psychology; urban, rural,
political, and comparative sociology; sex roles and relations; demography;
gerontology; criminology; and sociological practice.
Sociology can provide the necessary foundation if you’re
aspiring to pursue a career in public administration, private and public
enterprises, human relations, community development, social work, education,
child care, politics and law.
