Sociology Pre-Major
Summary
Prepare for a major in Sociology by taking recommended courses to fulfill the requirements
of a transfer degree.
Sociology investigates the structure of groups, organizations and society and how
people interact within these contexts. Sociology is the study of social life, social
change and social causes that effect human behavior. Students gain an understanding
of various social factors, such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, education and social
class and how they shape our personal lives as well as how social systems, from politics
to businesses, operate.
The Associate in Arts - Direct Transfer Agreement (AA-DTA) is part of Shoreline’s General Transfer program and is designed to meet the first two years of requirements of most four-year degrees.
