The program in sociology and anthropology helps students better understand social organization and human social behavior. With strong foundations in sociological research and theory, students learn about socio-cultural identity, social interaction, the role of culture and social institutions, and the impact of structured inequality (race, class, and gender) upon social life. The department has a particular strength in the analysis of criminal justice institutions.

Mission Statement

Guided by the traditions of the liberal arts, the Sociology and Anthropology department provides its students with the theoretical and methodological tools to critically analyze the social world. Students become familiar with different cultural contexts and institutional frameworks of society, and apply that knowledge to address the needs of the rapidly changing globalizing world.

The Major in Sociology

A student may select either the general sociology program or the law and society program. 

• Sociology This track is designed to prepare students for a wide range of professional careers and advanced study by emphasizing cultural awareness, research, and theoretical thinking skills as they apply to the interplay between individuals and social structures.    
•  Criminal Justice and Law This track is designed to prepare students for careers in legal professions or other aspects of the justice system, including social work, as well as for the kinds of advanced study expected of professionals in those fields.

The Sociology Core

In addition to the five (5) sociology core courses, students take four (4) other courses. For those following the criminal justice and law track, one of these courses must be SOC 216 (Crime, Law, and Justice). Of the other courses, for students following both tracks, at least one of which must be at the 300 level. These remaining courses should be chosen in careful consultation with the student's advisor. 

Sociology majors are encouraged to fulfill their Learning in Common F2 requirement by completing MATH 107.

Sociology majors and minors are encouraged to take at least a year of foreign language.

Students in the general sociology program should take electives designed to familiarize them with an array of other disciplines. Criminal Justice and Law students should include among their electives courses such as POSC 110.

The writing-intensive requirement for majors are SOC 346 or 347.

Note: Students majoring in either track of the sociology major who desire a minor or a second major are required to select a field outside the Sociology Department.

Transfer Students

All transfer students must complete a minimum of five of their sociology requirements at 91��Ƭ. 

The Minor in Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of the holistic human experience, past and present. As a social science, it promotes an understanding of the full sweep and complexity of cultures across all of human history, drawing and building upon knowledge from the social and biological sciences as well as the humanities and physical sciences. The minor in Anthropology engages students in the comparative study of human diversity and interactions through various forms of social relationships, cultural practices and means of inter-cultural communication across different societies.

The minor in anthropology consists of five (5) course units: ANTH/SOC 113 and ANTH/SOC 347 and at least three (3) elective courses 200-level or higher.  A minimum of one (1) elective course must be completed in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and students may pursue up to two (2) elective courses in other departments.

The Minor in Forensic Auditing

See School of Business and Economics

The Minor in Medical Sociology and Anthropology

Medical sociology and anthropology is the study of the distribution and experience of health and illness in society, past and present.  The field explores the cultural influences on the interpretation and experience of health and illness, the institutions that diagnose and treat illness, the different disease burdens experienced by different arrangements of human communities, and the socialization of both practitioners and patients.  The minor in medical sociology and anthropology will enable students to understand and appreciate the macro factors that impact the health and illness of human communities as well as to develop an understanding of the complexity of interactions and social relationships between people in medical institutions. 

The minor in medical sociology and anthropology consists of five (5) course units:

Three (3) Required courses:

This course examines the development of tourism within the conceptual framework of anthropology and related social sciences. It encourages students to examine the impact that tourism has upon the cultures and people visited, the nature and relationship of culture to tourism, the recreation and manufacture of heritage for tourists and the performance of cultural acts through orchestrated dance, song and festivals. In the process of understanding the role of tourism and heritage in the development of modern cities and nations, students will survey how spaces are demarcated for tourism consumption, explore the role of marketing and branding of tourist destinations in shaping tourist activities and identify trends in tourism and heritage development. Furthermore, students will analyze complementary and contrasting viewpoints about cultural politics, sustainable social and economic development, and other issues related to the promotion of tourism in different parts of the world, and the challenges that host communities increasingly face in light of the presence of tourists.

Prerequisite: SOC 115 or SOC/ANTH 113. Writing-intensive.

ANTH 351. Globalization: The Human Experience in an Interconnected World. This course focuses upon examining the broad ramifications and the moral reorganization of various aspects of human social life tied to the paradoxes associated with the contemporary period of globalization. Students will explore the variety of ways in which the orientation of globalization today fosters greater degrees of physical, social, and virtual human interconnectedness than ever before, while simultaneously threatening the domination of institutions and ideologies that have framed the modern experience.  Students will investigate different areas of life (social and natural) impacted by globalization in pursuit of better understanding their place in an increasingly shifting world and identify ways in which they, as individuals, communities, and humanity as a whole, can thrive in it more sustainably. Through a problem-based approach to globalization, the seminar will encourage students to underline the importance of establishing causation and of specifying causal pathways for understanding the multitude of ways in which converging and diverging processes shape the experience of globalization for people around the world in the 21st century. Prerequisite: SOC 115 or SOC/ANTH 113.

SOC 365. Bioethics: A Sociological Perspective. Our cultural concept of what defines a “human being,” and what defines both normal and desired life experiences impacts not only the practice of medicine, but also our pursuit of new medical technologies.  And once those technologies are created, they may in turn impact our experience and change previous expectations and understandings.  The past few decades have brought about a substantial change in the practice of medicine.  We have witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of people undergoing cosmetic surgical procedures in light of what many social scientists argue is a new age of age discrimination.  We have new disease categories such as ADHD which have impacted the experience of childhood in America, so the once “unruly” or “squirmy” child is now medically controlled.  Among developed nations, the United States holds the distinction of reporting the largest percent of its adult population on antidepressants.  This medical response to stress and sadness is in part a response to the general American perception that sadness impedes productivity.  And think about how America’s fascination with both physical and intellectual prowess is leading us closer to genetic engineering. Prerequisite: SOC 115 or SOC/ANTH 113 and junior/senior standing.
