The Department of Sociology & Anthropology combines the study of people and cultures and produces students who are not only aware of the history and significance of humankind but who are also cognizant of how our actions impact the world in which we live. The department is dedicated to increasing learning through close research collaboration between faculty and students. Sociology and anthropology students are well prepared for a variety of interesting and rewarding careers. Some students choose to experience other cultures and social groups first hand by working internationally through NGOs, the Peace Corps or domestically through programs like Match Corps. Others find that the skills they’ve acquired through the major lend themselves to careers in law, public health, urban planning, social work, education or health administration.
Your support provides invaluable resources so that our students have opportunities to learn directly — through first-hand experience volunteering and interacting, through scholarship, and through bringing important scholars and others to campus to meet them. Your support makes sociology more than books and papers — it helps make it real work with the real world.
