Sociology
Sociology is the study of human relationships and institutions, and its subject matter ranges from crime to religion and from family to state.
Transfer Degree
Cuyamaca College offers a Sociology for Transfer degree program that can lead to admission at a California State University campus or other four-year colleges and universities.

Upon completion of the program, students will be able to – among other things – evaluate the implications of multicultural diversity and global interdependence and evaluate how societies work and how they could be changed for the better.
Classes at Cuyamaca College range from Marriage, Family and Alternative Lifestyles to Contemporary Social Problems.
