CMU Adds Sociology to SFCC Sites

Filed under CMU News on Friday, March 23, 2012.

A new college degree completion program is being added by Central Methodist University through its cooperative programs with State Fair Community College in Sedalia, Clinton, and at the Lake of the Ozarks site in Osage Beach.

Starting next August, CMU will offer the bachelor's degree in Sociology at each of the three locations, according to Deborah DeGan-Dixon, assistant dean for CMU's College of Graduate and Extended Studies.

Sociology students often choose the field because of an interest in how society operates. Many are drawn to sociology out of concern over social issues and a desire to do something about it.

All CMU degree completion programs offered through its cooperative relationship with State Fair Community College are designed with convenience in mind. Eight-week sessions, evening classes, and online instruction are all components of the programs; some can complete the program in as little as 18 months, DeGan-Dixon noted.

For more information, anyone interested can contact a CMU official at the most convenient location.
