Sociology seeks to answer questions about why people think and act the way they do through the study of structural and cultural patterns and social dynamics. As a student of sociology, you will learn how to gather and interpret information—in itself, a set of very marketable skills—and to detect social forces that other people often take for granted.

Choosing sociology as your major helps you build foundational skills for navigating the social world as well as prepares you to transfer to a baccalaureate granting institution.

The Associate of Arts degree in Sociology includes field of study curriculum approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The Field of Study Curriculum for Sociology consists of 12 lower-division semester credit hours that are fully transferable to other Texas public colleges and universities.

The A.A. Degree is one of the programs at ACC that can be completed fully online.
