Sociology - Bunker Hill Community College

Sociology from Bunker Hill Community College is a Campus Associate Sociology degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. The mission of the Behavioral Science Department is to produce students who are critical thinkers, i.e. students who can examine various propositions, theoretical statements and social assertions they encounter with an analytical eye and a healthy skepticism. Further, students all gain an understanding of basic research methods and techniques employed by psychologists, sociologists and cultural anthropologists. In addition, we seek to assure that our students are acquainted with the fundamental theoretical foundations of their respective fields of study. This concentration prepares students to transfer to four-year colleges or universities to seek bachelor's degrees in the behavioral sciences. Career Outlook: Graduates of this concentration qualify for entry-level positions in the general field of human services. Graduates may wish to transfer to a four-year college or university, however, because career opportunities in sociology and/or social work require a minimum of a bachelor's degree and often require a master's degree. This program meets all requirements of the Commonwealth Transfer Compact.
