Notes


*Credit students who are new to college (no successfully completed college coursework at other institutions) are required to take ACDV 101  in the first semester at CCBC. This is a 1-credit class, and it does not count towards the number of credits required for a degree or certificate. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) for this requirement to be waived.

 ** These courses may also be used as a General Education Elective.

 Depending on the General Education electives completed, more than 15 credits of Electives may be needed to reach a minimum of 60 credits for the degree.

Transfer Pattern Description


This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in Sociology. Beyond the General Education requirements and other degree, program, and elective requirements, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements.

Transfer Pattern Outcomes


Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:

  1. analyze their personal experiences using the sociological imagination;
  2. apply sociological concepts to the analysis of social issues and problems;
  3. explain the effect that social forces and social institutions have on individual and group behavior;
  4. understand structural inequalities based on age, race, class, gender and other social constructions resulting in differences of power, property and prestige;
  5. evaluate the quantitative and qualitative methods used in sociological research; and
  6. pursue careers in social welfare and social change and/or pursue graduate study in the social sciences.
