Department of Sociology and Social Work

The Department of Sociology and Social Work is a supportive community of committed faculty, staff and experienced sociology and social work practitioners who prepare students to make a positive impact on the lives of others. We are committed to excellence in education and our graduates are prepared to transfer to four-year colleges and universities with programs in Sociology, Social Work, Social Justice, Criminology, Aging Studies, Gender Studies, and related disciplines.

Through the study of sociology and social work, students gain access to concrete skills that are relevant to a broad range of rewarding careers. These skills enhance the student’s ability to assess new and unfamiliar situations, to select and apply qualitative and/or quantitative techniques in solving practical problems in creative ways, and to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing. All majors are required to take courses in Sociology, Social Problems, Statistics, and/or Research Methods.

The Department offers the following degrees/certificates:

  • Sociology Associate Degree for Transfer
  • Social Work and Human Services Associate Degree for Transfer
  • Social Justice Studies: General
  • Social Justice Studies: Gender and Sexuality
