Sociology is the systematic and scientific study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociology students investigate the structures of group life, organizations, and societies and how people interact within these contexts. Students studying sociology bring new perspectives on diversity, social issues, and social systems relevant to today’s workplaces. Sociology majors typically find work in human resources, public policy, teaching, criminal justice, law, marketing, consulting, social work, and research.

All of these courses can be used to fulfill the Social Science requirements of the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree and the Associate of Science Transfer degrees in Business and Computer Science.
