The program map below represents an efficient and effective course taking sequence for this program. Individual circumstances might require some changes to this path. It is always recommended that you meet with your pathway counselor to develop a personalized educational plan.


Social Justice Studies was created as an "Area of Emphasis" Associates Degree for Transfer (ADT). This ADT includes Programs in Cultural or Ethnic Studies and Women's Studies, and is designed to give students a broad background in the histories of various racial and ethnic groups, and the contemporary challenges faced by these groups in our society. Social Justice is the basic principle that all members of a society are entitled to equal rights and opportunities, and Social Justice Studies seeks to examine existing inequities, particularly as they relate to race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. The Social Justice Studies ADT is designed to transfer into the CSU system, and can be used as the foundation for a Bachelor's Degree in the following areas: American Indian Studies, African American or Africana Studies, American Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicana and Chicano or Mexican American Studies, Comparative Ethnic Studies, Gender Studies, Women's Studies, Labor Studies, and some Sociology Programs. To earn the Associate in Arts in Social Justice for Transfer students must complete at least 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable coursework, including the Cal-GETC requirements, and at least 18 units within the major. Students must maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA, including grades C (or 'P') or higher in each course taken to fulfill the major. Local graduation requirements are not required for the transfer degree. Students should consult with a counselor for more information on transfer requirements and university admission.


Upon completion of the program, students will:
  1. 1. Demonstrate academic preparedness for transfer to a four-year college.
  2. 2. Examine and appraise the intersections of race, class, gender, religion and other cultural indicators in issues of social justice in the United States.
  3. 3. Compare and contrast the primary goals of social justice movements of the 20th century and evaluate correlations to contemporary social justice movements.

Cultural anthropologists seek to understand the diversity of human experience, focusing on a set of central issues: how people around the world make their living (subsistence patterns); how they organize themselves socially, politically and economically; how they communicate; how they relate to each other through marriage, family and kinship ties; what they believe about the world (religion and belief systems); how they express themselves creatively (the arts and expressive culture); how they make distinctions among themselves; how they have shaped and been shaped by the past; and how they navigate culture change and processes of globalization. Ethnographic case studies highlight these similarities and differences, and introduce students to how anthropologists do their work, employ professional anthropological research ethics and apply their perspectives and skills to understand humans around the globe.

Students will be exposed to the great variety of ways humans communicate both verbally and non-verbally. Using specific cross-cultural examples, the class will survey three core areas in linguistic anthropology: Structural Linguistics, which focuses on phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics; Historical linguistics, which focuses on origins and evolution of language, the development of language over time including its changes, variations, and language loss; and Sociolinguistics, which focuses on language acquisition in a cultural context, how culture shapes language, and the intersection of language and systems of power.(A, CSU, UC, Cal-GETC)

Using critical thinking, this course will identify and analyze contemporary social problems including causes, consequences, and possible solutions. Application of critical thinking skills, specifically taught in the course, is designed to result in heightened critical thinking ability as well as strengthened social awareness concerning social problems. In the study of social problems, theoretical perspectives and sociological methods of research and analysis will be applied. This course uses both inductive and deductive forms of reasoning, including identifying formal and informal fallacies and analyzing the evidence on which conclusions are based. (A, CSU, UC, Cal-GETC)

An emphasis will be placed on the observational evidence used by cosmologists to help develop their theories. A study of the types of stars, including the sun, binary stars, variable stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars is included. Types of galaxies and their distribution in the universe, dark matter, dark energy, supernovae, and black holes will be examined. There may be optional field trips. (A, CSU, UC, Cal-GETC)

An emphasis will be placed on the observational evidence used by cosmologists to help develop their theories. A study of the types of stars, including the sun, binary stars, variable stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars is included. Types of galaxies and their distribution in the universe, dark matter, dark energy, supernovae, and black holes will be examined. There may be optional field trips. (A, CSU, UC, Cal-GETC)

Fossil evidence for the origin and evolution of life, natural selection, and environmental change in shaping both ancient and modern living communities are also presented. Emphasis will be given to North American paleogeography and tectonics. Laboratory activities use rocks, fossils, geologic maps and cross sections to interpret ancient environments, tectonic settings and geologic history. At least one field trip or an appropriate alternative activity are required. (A, CSU, UC, Cal-GETC)

This course will examine and analyze cultural norms and value systems retained from traditional African societies that were adapted for survival in the United States; evaluate and analyze the impact of the Great Migration from 1865 through 1975, compare and contrast the social political and economic bases of the Reform Movement, Civil Rights Movement, and Pan African Liberation Movement, and evaluate and interpret how the underlying economic, political, and ethnocentric issues of racism in the United States have impacted African American communities and social institutions from Reconstruction to the election of President Barack Obama.
