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.
