Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology + Sociology

The Anthropology + Sociology major seeks to provide an enriching learning experience for students interested in focusing their studies on socio-cultural components of human behavior. Anthropology and sociology share an interest in studying social and cultural behavior, community development, social organizations, diverse groups of people, cross-cultural comparisons and the interactions of all these categories. The major seeks to acquaint students with the fundamentals of both anthropology and sociology, highlighting the similarities of the fields in their first two years of study. The ultimate goal is that the student gains a broad understanding of both fields as well as a more specialized understanding of specific issues pertinent to either anthropology or sociology.
