If so, you should consider one of Clayton State University’s newer undergraduate programs. The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia approved Clayton State’s proposal for a Bachelor of Science in Sociology degree in August 2007, allowing Clayton State to offer some upper level Sociology courses in the spring 2008 semester, with the new program being fully-implemented with the start of the fall 2008 semester in August 2008.
