Associate of Arts - Sociology - Transfer to a California State University

Laney College's Associate in Arts Degree in Sociology for Transfer is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer with junior status and priority admission to their local California State University campus to a program or major in Sociology or similar major for completion of a baccalaureate degree.

Sociology is the systematic study of human societies. It focuses on social organization, human interaction, institutions and culture. Sociology is built on the premise that understanding how societies function is a necessary prerequisite for creating social change. At Laney College, students learn how to use a Sociological Perspective to analyze many topics including group relations, inequality, contemporary social issues, as well as considering possibilities for creating deeper social justice.
