Sociology AAS Transfer Option – Social Welfare

Social Welfare is a course of study about our society’s response to human need.  This program is designed to enhance student awareness and understanding of the fields of social welfare and social work and their response to this human need.  Social welfare is valuable major for those seeking careers in such fields as services to families, health care, mental health, corrections, gerontology, law, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation, the clergy, and industry.  Although a two-year degree with emphasis in this area may aid employment in the social welfare system, students should be prepared to continue their education through bachelor’s degree in social work at a four-year institution.
