Sociology: A.A.-T
Earn an Associate Degree for Transfer in Sociology
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.
