    Sociology

    Department of Sociology and Anthropology

    As a Major

    The behavioral sciences of sociology and anthropology help students develop an appreciation and understanding of the myriad structures and processes that characterize life in social groups. While sociology tends to concentrate on complex modern societies, exploring societal change and institutions, anthropology tends to cover a wider span, focusing on both Western and non-Western societies.

    Introductory courses offer a broad overview of the complexity of world cultures and American society. Advanced courses provide an in-depth focus on particular world areas, social institutions or significant social trends.

    For sociology majors interested in social work, the department offers courses that provide experiential as well as theoretical exposure to the field, including actual work experience in recognized social work agencies.

    As a Minor

    The Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers Tier III minors in both sociology and anthropology. These programs give students an in-depth understanding of key concepts of fields within sociology and anthropology. Students are required to take three courses in the department at the 3000 or 4000 level, including at least one at the 4000 level. Although the department recommends either ANT 4800 or SOC 4900, any 4000-level course offered by the department may serve as the capstone for either the sociology or the anthropology minor.
