From intimate, personal, and family relationships to international corporation activities; from marginality, deviance and crime to recreation, religion and medicine, few disciplines have such broad scope and relevance.  The Associate in Arts for Transfer in Sociology fulfills the lower division requirements for the Baccalaureate degree in Sociology at a California State University. Students should consult with a counselor to determine whether this degree is the best option for their transfer goals."
