Sociology at Collin

Collin College provides general academic courses and electives for students who plan to transfer to a college or university. Because of the various transfer requirements at colleges and universities, and to ensure enrollment in appropriate courses, students should verify course transferability and degree applicability with a Collin College academic advisor and/or the college or university that they plan to attend.

To earn an associate degree, complete the 42 credit hour General Education Core, and 18 credit hours of general studies electives and the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree requirements.

Check with your transfer institution before registering for general studies electives to make sure your courses will be degree applicable to your bachelor's degree at the transfer institution.

Sociology examines how social factors affect both behavior and the potential consequences of that behavior. It seeks to uncover the existence of social patterns, explain how social patterns come to be and explore the consequences of such patterns for different individuals, groups and society at large. Sociology coursework at Collin College is designed to provide you with essential life skills and a deeper understanding of yourself and others. Critical thinking skills and a global perspective - attributes that will benefit you regardless of your major - are strongly emphasized.
