Are the Sociology Courses in Community College equivalent to?

Question

those in the University at undergraduate levels?

Answer 1

There are no remedial sociology courses in the community college curriculum. So, yes; the courses you take at community college will transfer to a four-year college, provided that the college is fully accreditated (which it probably is).

Usually classes that are transferrable start at 101 and up; 100 and 99, etc. are usually remedial (i.e., Reading 99, Math 100).

Answer 2

It depends on the curriculum and the level of instruction. Some instructors will teach the pants off of a course in a community college. Others do not teach at a University level. One big advantage to learning in a lecture type format in a community college may be discussion where people feel more comfortable to communicate.
In terms of transferring to a larger institution of higher ed, the Ur's website or Admissions office should have transfer equivalencies. Talk with you enrollment/admissions office at the institution you plan on transferring to and see if the class not only transfers, but what it transfers to and if it counts for core or curriculum requirements. A lot of colleges/universities that are governed by the same board of regents within a state will transfer more easily than transferring out of state, although not necessarily.

Answer 3

It depends. An introductory course like Sociology 100 will probably be accepted by the university. You will need to get a copy of the course description and check to see if the university will accept the credits.

Answer 4

Depending on the college, they should transfer credit to credit.
