Welcome
to the Department of Sociology and Anthropology
--------------------------------------------------
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology
is a diverse Department offering Undergraduate,
M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in sociology. The Department
offers a variety of courses and program flexibility
that are designed to serve the interests of
students pursuing both academic and non academic
careers.
Undergraduate Program
The Undergraduate Program has three areas
of concentration: I. Administration
of Justice, II. Anthropology, and III.
Sociology.
Generally speaking, the Undergraduate Program
provides students with the basic tools
for analysis and insight, including research
methods (both quantitative and qualitative)
and theory. Furthermore, our curriculum
equips students to more effectively negotiate
the diverse society in which we live by
addressing social inequalities such as
race/ethnicity, gender and social class.
Above all, our program--which emphasizes
writing, critical thinking, group dialogue,
and one-on-one faculty mentorship-- gives
our graduates the strong writing, research,
and analytic skills that are increasingly
attractive to employers in the information
age.
Graduate Program
The Graduate Program offers comprehensive
training in sociological theory, research
methodology and statistics. At the Ph.D.
level, there are four areas of academic
concentration: I. Criminology, II. Medical
Sociology, III. Social Inequality (Race/Ethnicity,
Class and Gender Relations), and IV. Urban
Sociology.
Members of the faculty, students, and administrative
staff seek to create an atmosphere of cooperation
and collaboration, both in and out of the
classroom. Students are encouraged to present
papers at professional meetings and to work
with faculty on research projects and in
authoring and co authoring publications.
