Associate in Arts - Social Science

The Associate in Arts in Social Science is an interdisciplinary program of study designed to prepare students to transfer to most universities. It is a general social science degree that does not specialize in one specific discipline. The degree allows them to explore a number of transfer and career possibilities within the social sciences. The general emphasis provides a strong foundation for students pursuing a baccalaureate major within a wide range of social science disciplines, including administration of justice, anthropology, Chicano Studies, economics, ethnic studies, geography, history, psychology, or sociology. Through this interdisciplinary program, they will gain a better understanding of human behavior, social relationships, and social structures.

It is imperative that students entering Ohlone's Associate in Arts in Social Science meet with a counselor at the start of their academic work. Counselors will assist them in preparing a comprehensive Student Education Plan that will prepare them to achieve their academic goals.
