Department of Sociology and Anthropology

Sociology and anthropology courses constitute an important part of a liberal education. They foster an awareness of the structure of human societies and of the social processes that operate in all groups, organizations, and institutions. The student is exposed to the methods of inquiry and to the special knowledge and insights of sociology and anthropology. Courses in the department also are intended to facilitate the application of sociological and anthropological principles to a wide range of contemporary social problems.

Majors in sociology and anthropology often find employment doing applied research with government agencies, assisting in community development and planning, or using knowledge of social organization and social process in a variety of settings within the United States or abroad. Majors are well-equipped for graduate training in the social sciences in pursuit of academic or applied research careers.
