 Return to: Areas of Study (A-Z)
This program is available 100% online.
The discipline of Sociology is an exciting field of study that offers the opportunity to learn about the human experience and its connection to individuals and an increasingly globalized world. The Associate of Arts degree in Sociology is intended for students with a wide variety of interests, including inequality, race, gender, immigration, culture, education, poverty, crime, law, business, journalism, and politics. It is also designed for transfer to other university programs around the country. The concepts and skills students learn encourage critical thinking and emphasize the link between sociological principles and their application in students’ lives, future careers, and the real world more generally. Students will learn how social problems are constructed, recognize the interrelation of individual behavior and societal trends, and evaluate and make arguments concerning issues in and beyond the United States. A student who obtains an Associate’s degree in Sociology may find employment in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors in a wide variety of capacities. For example, graduates may work as a caseworker for children and victims of abuse or neglect, an academic mentor (such as through AmeriCorps), a paralegal or lawyer, in immigration services, an instructor/professor at a college or university, a news reporter, a researcher, as a public or human relations specialist, a librarian, or in marketing development. Students intending to work in Sociology will need at least an Associate’s degree. There are careers for Sociology graduates available in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and nationwide.
