Program overview
The sociology and anthropology major is dedicated to understanding and appreciating social and cultural complexity and diversity across the globe and through time. Students are exposed to critical perspectives, theories, and research skills that are necessary to engage complex global and local issues that crosscut the economy, politics, society, gender, ethnicity, and culture. Understanding societies past and present better prepares us to face the challenges of a rapidly changing world and to assume positions of leadership that promote vision and equity.
Plan of study
This integrated, interdisciplinary degree program explores the common scholarly roots and creative differences of sociology and anthropology, through which students gain a synergistic set of perspectives and skills that prepare them for social analysis in the widest array of social and cultural settings. Students develop a specialization by choosing one of four tracks: archaeology, cultural anthropology, sociology, or urban studies.
Graduates pursue careers in medicine and public health, law, business, international development, the non-profit sector, urban planning, architecture, social work, education, and government, among other possibilities.
Cooperative education and field experience
Students apply their classroom knowledge with opportunities for hands-on learning through cooperative education assignments, internships, archaeological or ethnographic fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and study abroad.
