The Associate in Arts in Sociology for Transfer (A.A.-T) prepares students to move into a curriculum at a four-year institution, leading to a baccalaureate degree in sociology. Please consult a counselor regarding specific course requirements for your transfer institution. Completion of the AA-T degree also provides guaranteed admission to the CSU system, although does not guarantee admission to a specific campus or major. Upon completion of this degree, students will accurately apply key sociological concepts when assessing their own and other societies, and distinguish between personal/group opinions and scientific conclusions when analyzing and evaluating social issues. Students will be able to clearly communicate historical, social and cultural awareness in oral and written assignments, including an awareness of the variety and relative severity of social issues impacting people differently due to their particular place within the social structure.

Learning Outcome(s):

✓ Students will identify, contrast and apply the methods and theoretical perspectives in sociology utilized to explain social interaction and social structure, including the analysis of social problems.
