Sociology's Participation in GCC's Honors Program

The Sociology Department actively participates in GCC's Honors Program. Soc 101 (Introduction to Sociology) is offered each semester, day and evening, as an Honors course. This course satisfies the general education requirement for graduation from GCC.


Honor Society Sociology: Alpha Kappa Delta

Alpha Kappa Delta represents the united chapters of the International Sociology Honor Society whose collective purpose is to promote an interest in the study of sociology, research of social problems, and such other social and intellectual activities as will lead to improvement in the human condition. Sociological Inquiry serves as the Society's academic journal.

Although AKD membership requires junior (third year) undergraduate or graduate student standing, a declared Sociology major, and maintaining a 3.0 grade point average at a four-year college or university, GCC's faculty enthusiastically supports the ideals of AKD's academic excellence and community service. GCC faculty encourage lower division students interested in Sociology to inquire about membership when transferring to a four-year college or university.


Honor Society Glendale CC: Phi Theta Kappa

Phi Theta Kappa is an internationally recognized honor society with over 40,000 members currently enrolled in more than 800 two-year colleges in the United States and abroad. The purpose of this organization is to recognize academic achievement, promote scholarship, develop character, and cultivate fellowship. Granted a charter at GCC, the Omicron Lambda chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, invites all students who have successfully completed twelve (12) credit hours with a 3.5 grade point average to join its organization.
