One of the best things about Ashford University's Organizational Management program is the ability to customize your degree to fit your professional and educational goals. Students with a background and/or interest in Sociology can transfer up to 12 credits of Sociology coursework into their Sociology concentration resulting in a dynamic degree comprised of complementing areas. Students with a concentration in Sociology will have a fundamental understanding of present day social issues with an emphasis on the sociological factors involved in creating these issues.
These students will combine their Sociology education with organizational skill development in communications, group behavior, decision making, human resource management and ethics, culminating in a well-rounded degree. In addition, Ashford University's transfer policy will allow you to transfer in your Sociology credits no matter when you took them. The result is a dynamic degree which allows you to keep the credit you have earned while adding courses which will improve your management skills and enhance your opportunity for promotion within your chosen field.
