The sociology major offers a breadth of exposure to subject matter in both sociology and anthropology.
Sociology is the science of human society, social relations, organization and change.
Sociological knowledge and critical thinking can be used to clarify social problems and evaluate policies of public and private agencies, particularly in such areas as industrial organizations, social change, intergroup relations, criminal justice, and social welfare. Anthropology is the scientific study of culture, concerned with human biological and cultural adaptations to the environment throughout time in all parts of the world. Basic themes of anthropology include adaptation, evolution, and change. Anthropological knowledge can be applied to many problems of modern society, including the social impact of development, economic and political change, and cultural resource management.
