📚About the Program

Non-degree in Sociology - Associate of Arts Degree at Selkirk College

Sociology is the analysis of human social relationships, cultures and institutions that profoundly shape both our lives and human history. Sociology helps us make sense of the rapidly changing world in which we live. At the same time, it helps us to know ourselves in new and exciting ways. If you are interested in how and why social constructs such as gender, race, class, ethnicity and religion influence our individual choices and social circumstances, consider an academic career in sociological study. With your two-year associate of arts degree in sociology you’ll get most, if not all, of the requirements to enter third year of a major sociology degree program. Complete a specified two years (60 credits) of courses with us, and then finish your degree at the university of your choice. Show less
