Sociology is a social science that examines the social lives of individuals, groups, and societies. The discipline covers a range of topics, from the analysis of short contacts between anonymous individuals on the street to the study of global social processes. Information about career options for sociology majors is offered by the American Sociological Association.
The two-year program listed below is designed to meet the requirements for an Associate of Arts in Sociology from CNM and prepare a student to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology at University of New Mexico (UNM). Currently, UNM offers two concentrations for the sociology degree: pre-law and human services and social policy. These concentrations have slightly different requirements; courses accepted for each concentration are listed.
Students interested in transfer to UNM should consult the UNM Sociology Department and/or advisor at (505) 277-2501. However, students from CNM seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions. Students should always refer to the catalog of their intended transfer institution for specific admission and curricular requirements. Students may also consult a CNM faculty advisor and/or the CNM Academic Advising Center for assistance.
