Expand the borders of learning beyond the classroom with an online bachelor’s degree
in Sociology! Taught by the same elite faculty who have earned our program national
recognition, our online course offerings cover a range of topics including Social
Psychology, Sociology of Law, Sociology of Health and Illness, Environmental Sociology,
and more—providing students with skills in quantitative analysis and research methods
anchored in sociological theory. With enhanced expertise in written and oral communication,
critical and analytical thinking, and interpersonal/cross cultural interactions, our
graduates are ideal candidates for careers in a variety of fields, as well as graduate
and professional schools.
We offer comprehensive online degrees to fit your busy schedule. Using the latest
technologies, we put sociology courses within reach for students who are not able
to attend classes on campus or commit to full-time, face to face enrollment due to
the time constraints of working full-time and raising a family.
OSU uses Canvas for our learning management system and hosts your online courses and
content. From lectures to discussions to submitting assignments, all course interaction
is completed entirely online. All you need is the necessary discipline and access
to computer capabilities!
The online Sociology degree follows the same path as the traditional Sociology degree.
Students are required to complete 120 total hours made up of general education courses
as well as major courses. With over 70 hours of approved online coursework, our online
Sociology degree offers students ultimate flexibility in tailoring their educational
experience to meet their future career and professional goals.
