Welcome from the Department of Sociology, Anthropology & Geography
The Department of Sociology, Anthropology & Geography offers major concentrations in Sociology, Anthropology, and a minor in Geography. Sociology is the scientific study of social interaction, social networks, and social issues that link people to each other and to society. Anthropology is the study of sociocultural patterns and the biological development of humans and human societies through time. Geography is the study of the spatial characteristics of both physical and cultural phenomena. All three disciplines are intended to acquaint sudents with social science methods and perspectives needed to understand their society and the world. All three provide students with knowledge and skills of analysis that will prepare them for entry into many occupations and for the pursuit of many different types of post-baccalaureate professional and graduate studies.
