About the Department
The combined program in anthropology and sociology provides service learning and career preparation opportunities for those interested and committed to promoting peace, understanding and positive change in society. The program helps students learn to ask questions about their society and other societies around the world, to think critically about answers to these questions, and to explore various opportunities for responsible, committed citizenship in an international community. A solid foundation in sociological and anthropological concepts is essential to this and is developed in self and community courses in the first year. Majors and minors then apply these concepts in thematic courses, practicums, and research experiences. In addition, majors and minors will be exposed to issues in cultural pluralism and diversity through course work in gender, ethnicity and social class, and in at least one course with an international focus.
The sociology and anthropology program emphasizes preparation for careers and graduate training in basic and applied social science fields such as social work, community relations, arbitration, criminal justice, education, international relations and service, human resources, and advocacy, as well as research and teaching.
