Need a degree plan in sociology

[bokus]

The math department at my college is not accepting my ALEKS credits. I currently have 91 college credits.

Could anyone give me a degree plan for sociology via TESC. Mostly the courses I can test out of. I have 6 credits of upper division sociology courses. If you need any additional information let me know

Is your school a good place to learn Sociology? Might be worth finishing out there.

I'm not sure how you would test out of a Soc major at any of the Big 3 (though you may be able to test out of everything else you need), but here's a source of self-paced Sociology courses. I briefly flirted with the idea of a Soc/Psych combo at Excelsior but woke up next to the tarty business degree.

You could do the Bachelor of Arts Social Science. Under the current catalog you will need 18 UL credits. You already have six - depending on those courses you could take the following exams:

COU-262/PSY-331 Fundamentals of Counseling
PSY-361 Organizational Behavior
SOS-305 Substance Abuse
HIS-351 History of Vietnam

You can apply 2-100 level (SOS 101/102 CLEP) and the remaining credits needed in 200 level DSSTs courses (PSY-211, PSY-230) or TECEP PSY-270, SOC-210

With the social science degree there are more options.

So your saying a social science degree holds more weight then a typical sociology degree?

I have no idea, I guess it depends on what you are using it for.

I work in in the pharma industry and plan to go into HR Managment in the future so having the ability to combine psy/soc/sos/mat/bus is perfect fit for me. If I was going into social work a specificied degree may have been best. I think it more so depends on where you go next, if you plan on a masters degree social science heavy in one subject would suffice with having an opportunity to study additional subjects (broader view) in the social science arena.

Just my opinion. Others will chime in.
