Statement of Purpose

The department of Psychology, Sociology, and Social Work has created programs of study designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution to complete a baccalaureate degree. The degrees of study within the department include the Associate of Science degree in Psychology, Sociology/Anthropology, African-American Studies, and Social Work. The foundation of the curricula is General Education, with courses that emphasize skill development in areas such as cultural diversity, research, human behavior, social problems, and service learning. The faculty continuously seeks ways to combine classroom knowledge with technology and hands-on experience, which in the long run, only produce knowledgeable students.
