Is Our Program Right For You?
So you're fascinated by study people and cultures, but not quite ready to declare a sociology and anthropology major. We recommend taking one of our intro courses: Introduction to Sociology and Varieties of World Culture. You'll get a glimpse at what you'll study and what opportunities you can pursue with this degree.
Best of Both Worlds
Our program is the perfect blend of sociology and anthropology.
In our program, you’ll learn about people on a micro and macro level. For example, how does the COVID pandemic impact the professional world? And how does that impact individual people? It isn’t a one way road, either – how have the effects on individuals changed the workforce? You’ll explore the intersection between individual lives and larger structures like class systems and religious institutions.

Perspective
"Prior to taking sociology courses, I feel as though I was living in ignorance and naivety concerning the massive impact social norms have on each of us. Understanding the intersectionality of people’s identities and recognizing how socialization impacts the way people behave and respond in different social environments is, I would argue, the key to countering implicit biases, prejudice and discrimination."
