Welcome to the Department of Sociology and Anthropology
A unit of the College of Arts and Sciences, the department is home to four major programs: sociology, anthropology, social work, and, beginning Fall 2012, criminal justice.
The department offers majors in sociology, anthropology, and criminal justice leading to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree, and a major in social work leading to a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree. The department offers minors in sociology, anthropology, and criminal justice, as well as a sociology minor for students in the secondary teaching education program (STEP). The department also houses the interdisciplinary archaeology concentration.
Ours is a dynamic and collegial faculty consisting of nine sociologists, four anthropologists, one criminologist, and five social workers. Faculty members embrace both quantitative and qualitative methodologies in their research and have solid yet diverse theoretical orientations.
