Sociology Transfer Major

Program Description: Sociology is the application of scientific principles and procedures to understand and solve the problems of social groups, organizations, and institutions. Sociologists study how people relate to each other and how groups influence individuals.

Iowa Central's Sociology curriculum is designed to prepare students for a major in Sociology at a senior institution. The curriculum provides a broad perspective of sociological issues, methods of sociological study and research techniques. Skills of analysis also provide a means to study related areas in the Social Sciences such as Anthropology, Psychology, Religion, History, Political Science/Government, Geography, and Economics.

Students interested in majoring in Sociology can complete their first two years of coursework at Iowa Central and then transfer to a public or private college for the remaining two years. Students planning to major in Sociology or Anthropology are encouraged to take additional elective courses in the Social Sciences.
