Sociology
Associate in Arts Degree (AA-T)
The Associate inArts in Sociology for Transfer Degree is designed for students planning to trans-
fer into the sociology major. A study of sociology allows for the systematic study of human
social institutions and social relationships. Students pursuing the AA for transfer into the
sociology major will study the role of social theory, sociological research methods, social
organization and structure, social stratification and hierarchies, dynamics of social change,
family structures, social deviance and control, and applications to the study of specific
social groups, social institutions, and social problems.
Students who successfully complete the AA-T in Sociology earn specific guarantees
for transfer to the CSU system: admission to a CSU with junior status and priority admis-
sion to their local CSU campus and to a program or major in Sociology or a similar major.
Students transferring to a CSU campus will be required to complete no more than 60 units
after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Students are required to complete 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to
a California State University, including both of the following: (1) The Intersegmental Gen-
eral Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General
Education – Breadth Requirements and (2) 18-19 semester units with a grade of C or P or
better in the major and an overall minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in
all CSU transferable coursework. See page 60 for a more detailed description of Associate
Degrees for Transfer. Students are advised to consult with a Berkeley City College coun-
selor and/or the Social Sciences Department Chair for additional information and to verify
transfer requirements.
Note:
Although it is possible to fulfill the requirements for the Associate Degree for Trans-
fer by completing the IGETC for UC pattern, admission to CSU requires completion of
an Oral Communication course (IGETC Area 1C; CSU GE Area A-1); therefore, students
who plan to transfer to CSU should complete this course as part of their GE or elective
units.
