Colorado State University-Pueblo Continuing Education offers students three undergraduate degree completion programs through traditional correspondence courses:

Social Science is the study of people and social institutions, especially the relationships and impacts they have with, and on, each other. Social scientists gather and analyze data, interpret it, and make it meaningful and useful for application in dealing with human problems.  As the economy changes from an industrial to a service-oriented system, a greater need for “people-oriented” specialists is developing. Job opportunities include program management and administration, residential counseling, service supervision, human services, and sales and related work in both the public and private sectors. Related careers are: teaching, social work, corrections/criminology, social and educational administration, law, and mass communications.

Sociology is the study of human social behavior and is concerned with conditions such as crime and delinquency, family problems, social inequality, and organizations in contemporary industrial society. Sociologists are interested not only in understanding social issues and institutions but also in resolving social problems.  As an applied program, the major prepares students to work in a wide variety of occupations, including education, government, business, industry, and private human service agencies. They are employed in such areas as health care, youth services, drug rehabilitation, law enforcement, corrections, probation, and counseling. Students may receive a general sociology degree, or they may receive a sociology degree with a general emphasis or a criminology emphasis.

Independent Study and External Degree Completion Program students are subject to all Academic, Admissions, Records, Administrative, and Financial Aid policies listed in the University Catalog.
