In addition to helping students meet general education and core requirements for transfer to an upper-level Sociology program or to fulfill co-curricular requirements for other disciplines, the courses are also designed to help students understand the structure, processes, and functions of society, the key theoretical approaches and insights that inform sociology, and the role of social theory and research methods in understanding society. Further, the program seeks to foster critical and systemic thinking and increase self-knowledge and awareness of the diversity of the human condition. There are two Associate in Arts degrees offered to meet various student needs: The Associate in Arts degree (Option 1) or the Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T). The Sociology AA-T is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus.

All cours- es are designed to develop the student’s listening comprehension, speaking, read- ing and writing skills, as well as to provide a general overview of Spanish-speaking civilizations and cultures.
