What is Introduction to Sociology?

Introduction to Sociology is the study of how people live together in groups, how social rules and institutions shape behavior, and why societies develop patterns such as inequality, deviance, and cultural differences.

Introduction to Sociology is completed online through video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam. When you finish the course, the transcript can be sent for transfer review, and Indiana Tech recognizes it as SS 2800 – Introduction to Sociology, a named course equivalency in its catalog.

Taking this course toward Indiana Tech

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for transfer review and Indiana Tech applies the credit as SS 2800 – Introduction to Sociology if it meets its transfer standards. Because this is a named course equivalency, it is the strongest form of transfer recognition and can place directly into your Indiana Tech degree plan, including programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Indiana Tech allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy rather than the whole plan. Final acceptance depends on Indiana Tech's review, including its grade requirement of C or better for curriculum-related coursework.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want a clear sociology credit before moving into an Indiana Tech degree plan and who need a course with a named equivalency rather than a general elective. It may suit transfer students, adults finishing a degree, or students watching cost and credit efficiency, since Indiana Tech accepts transfer credit from HLC-accredited institutions and considers curriculum-related coursework with a grade of C or better. It is not the best choice if you need a course outside Indiana Tech's transfer rules or if you are looking for something that does not map to SS 2800 – Introduction to Sociology.
