Concentration in Anthropology and Sociology

About the Concentration in Anthropology and Sociology
The aim of the Anthropology and Sociology concentration is to cultivate in students a productive, philosophically- and historically-informed understanding of the world of the twenty-first century. While our disciplinary focus is on anthropology and sociology, we also draw upon disciplines like social psychology, linguistics, and social studies of science that have developed concepts essential for understanding the differences between traditional and modern cultures and societies. Anthropology and Sociology students learn how to apply broad-based theories learned in their classes to real-world issues currently being faced by contemporary societies.
