Major: Sociology

Sociology is the study of group life. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies. Our faculty use sociology to understand the sources of social injustice, such as inequality, poverty, racism, and sexism, and work to correct these problems to create better communities, nations and societies. Because human behavior is diverse, the field of sociology covers a range of subjects including collective behavior, stratification, race and ethnic relations, gender, and religion. The sociology program's strengths include social inequality, globalization, political economy, social movements, and the social control of political dissent. In addition, the sociology program provides students with opportunities to gain practical work experience through the form of internships and service learning.

Major: Anthropology

Anthropology is concerned with the study of humanity as a part of the natural world, and of culture that developed to cope with that world. Anthropologists have dealt largely with prehistoric and small-scale  societies and cultures in an effort to arrive at an understanding of universal cultural laws. Anthropologists are increasingly studying large-scale societies and the interaction between small- and large-scale cultures in the global system. While anthropologists have largely focused on prehistoric and non-western societies and cultures, increasingly they are applying basic concepts and methods to the study of modern, complex societies. The strengths of the anthropology program include historical archaeology and the archaeology and cultural study of the Plateau.
