Navigate an increasingly global and multicultural world with the Casper College sociology program. Sociology is the scientific study of group life and the investigation of the social causes and consequences of human behavior. From the intimate dynamics of family life to the complexities of global social movements, sociologists examine how we interact with one another and the structures that shape our lives. Whether you are a traditional student looking to understand social change or a nontraditional learner seeking to enhance your interpersonal skills for the workplace, this program provides the analytical tools to understand the diverse human condition.
We offer a transfer-oriented associate degree designed to meet the requirements of four-year universities and prepare you for upper-division study.
Casper College is a national leader in “affordable excellence,” consistently ranking as one of the best values for higher education in Wyoming. We are committed to helping you understand the investment you are making in your future by providing transparent cost information and personalized support.
