Sociology, BA

Arizona State University - Kaplan International

This degree is taught in ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, which is internationally ranked for the quality of its teacher preparation programs. In fact, ASU began as an institution for training teachers. Sociology is the study of the organization and development of societies and the institutions within them. The sociology program helps students better understand the development, structure, interaction and collective behavior of organized groups. Students explore the theories, practices and policies underlying the issues of social change, inequality and diversity. The Bachelor of Arts program in sociology provides students with training in important research skills used to describe, interpret and evaluate evidence across diverse settings important in the economy. In this flexible program, students have opportunities to work collaboratively with faculty on intellectual and policy issues, and they develop the research skills necessary for the analysis of complex social issues. The BA program requires a qualitative methods course, and the Bachelor of Science program requires a quantitative methods course.
