Associate in Arts Degree in Sociology Recommended Program of Study

This is a recommended sequence of courses, but courses may be spread out over additional semesters, and they do not necessarily need to be taken in the prescribed order (although some courses may have prerequisites that must be met before enrolling).  Students may modify this sequence to fit their needs.  Advisors in Educational Services are available to assist students in planning and modification; students interested in pursuing an Associate in Arts Degree in Sociology should also consult Professor Monique Moléon-Mathews, or Professor Dean Wagstaffe.  Complete information about degree requirements can be found in the Indian River State College Catalog.
