Sociology (AA-T)

Santa Rosa Junior College

The Associate in Arts for Transfer in Sociology degree provides students with an introduction to and overview of the field of Sociology. Students learn the major theories and research methods used by sociologists, as well as develop the ability to analyze critical aspects of contemporary society. This major fulfills the Transfer Model Curriculum for transfer to California State University (CSU) campuses.

The Sociology Associate in Arts for Transfer degree is designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree. California Community College students who are awarded an ADT are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses. Current and prospective community college students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to develop an educational plan that best meets their goals and needs.
