This is a new award effective Fall 2020.

Degree Code: AA.FS.SOCIOLOGY

This degree plan is designed to meet the needs of students who plan to major in Sociology and transfer to a four-year college or university. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approves the field of study in Sociology included in this degree. This degree plan will constitute a semester credit hour transfer block to any public Texas four-year college or university with a Sociology Major.

Transferring students shall not be required to repeat courses transferred as part of the field of study curriculum. Completion of the field of study curriculum shall not prevent a receiving institution from requiring additional lower-division courses that may be necessary for specific degree programs.

Because of the complexity of requirements, students must plan very carefully and work with an advisor/counselor to verify the transferability of Dallas College Sociology courses prior to applying to a university.

In order to be eligible to receive this A.A. degree, a student must:

Complete a minimum of 60 credit hours including all the required courses listed;
Earn a grade of “C” or better in ENGL 1301 and the selected college-level mathematics course;
Receive a GPA (2) of at least 2.00 (“C”);
Meet all Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requirements and course prerequisites; and
Complete at least 25% of the credit hours required for graduation through instruction by Dallas College.

Students who plan to transfer must work closely with an advisor/counselor.
