About this course

Understanding Introduction to Sociology for your UAG credit.

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. It looks at everyday life through a social lens, asking how family, school, work, government, race, gender, and other forces influence individual choices and opportunities.

How the course teaches you

This self-paced online course uses video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split into 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. When you finish and send the transcript to University of Arkansas Grantham, the completed course is the basis for transfer review, and UAG recognizes it as SO101 – Introduction to Sociology, a named course equivalency in the catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

At UAG, this credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or the Bachelor of Business Administration, where understanding groups, institutions, and social behavior can help with communication and decision-making.

Taking this course toward UAG

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and UAG's registrar applies the credit as SO101 – Introduction to Sociology when the coursework matches the equivalency. Because this is a named course equivalency, it has a specific place in the UAG catalog and can fit directly into your degree plan rather than sitting as an undefined elective. UAG awards transfer credit course by course, accepts equivalent coursework with a grade of C or better, and allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer. That limit matters when you are planning around programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want a clear, transferable sociology requirement on the way to University of Arkansas Grantham and need a named equivalency, not just elective credit.
