Emphasis: Sociology
Degree: Associate in Arts
Total Units: 90
Purpose: The Associate in Arts of Sociology provides a better understanding of what makes people behave the way they do. The focus is on the kinds of groups that people create and on specific interactions that take place as part of the basic social processes. How group activities influence individual members are also analyzed.
Some knowledge of sociology is generally regarded as a useful supplement to course work in most subject areas. The course of study for sociology majors is sufficiently flexible to provide study in areas of interest such as family, urban living, crime, and deviance.
To work as a sociologist usually requires graduate work. However, sociology provides courses used in training for careers in applied fields such as social welfare, city planning, and criminal justice.
By following this sociology educational plan at Centralia College students gain an adequate foundation to transfer to a four-year college or university. See the sociology faculty advisors for details.
