The Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers a diverse curriculum exploring the institutions and processes that maintain and change human societies. Our program places special emphasis on the development of students’ ability to analyze contemporary social and cultural issues, and their problem-solving and research skills. Students choose a major in either Sociology or Anthropology, but all majors are introduced to the concepts, methods and theories appropriate to research in both disciplines.
Sociology
The goal of Sociology is to understand human behavior within the context of larger social, political, and economic forces. Sociologists seek to solve social problems through the analysis of social institutions, organizations, movements, inequalities, and our interactions with one another.
