The Department of Sociology and Anthropology provides three course categories: SOC-prefixed sociology classes, ANTH-prefixed anthropology classes, and SOAN-prefixed departmental courses. These interdisciplinary courses acknowledge the parallel evolution and significant overlap between sociology and sociocultural anthropology, both historically and in contemporary practice. Departmental offerings encompass essential theory and methodology classes along with numerous electives, equally serving the curriculum requirements for undergraduate studies in both fields. Consult the course listings for all Anthropology program requirements.
Anthropology's Co-op program enables students to apply anthropological approaches and techniques in various professional settings.
