Transfers ToCSUDescriptionProvides an introductory overview of social welfare and societal institutions in the US, specifically related to the field of Human Services, and the role of paraprofessional workers in private and public settings on a local, state, and national level. Includes the historical development of human services, approaches, and methodologies utilized within various helping professions, and effective intervention strategies which emphasize a social work perspective. Special attention is given to current service delivery systems, their policies and procedures, and the tasks of culturally responsive social workers and human service workers within those settings. SOCIOLOGY The Sociology major is designed to prepare students for further studies in the discipline which will lead to the B.A., M.A., and/or Ph.D. degrees. The Associate in Arts degree in Sociology will provide an introduction to the major theoretical perspectives, research methodologies, and related sub-areas associated with the field. The degree incorporates the primary courses required for the bachelor's degree at many four-year colleges and universities, as well as establishes the foundation needed for later graduate studies. Students can also pursue the A.A. degree in sociology, yet decide not to attain the bachelor's degree. The field of sociology provides students with a broad-based knowledge of human behavior and social interaction, which is transferable to a multitude of areas, including education, law, medicine, government, administration of justice, and organizations. Associate in Arts for Transfer Degree: Sociology The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code sections 66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who completes an "associate degree for transfer", a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a California community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS- T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In order to earn one of these degrees, students must complete: 1. 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (CalGETC). 2. Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. Associate Degrees for Transfer also require that students must earn a C, or Pass (P), or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements. At the time of catalog publication, a student may earn an AA-T in Sociology. Additional majors are being developed. Please see a counselor or visit www.canyons.edu for more information. Degree Student Learning Outcome: Students will be able to analyze a social issue using sociological concepts.
