Department of Sociology & Anthropology


Missions, Goals & Objectives

Our mission is to make it possible for graduates to leave our department confident in their ability to help shape a more humane world by putting their disciplinary knowledge to work in the fields of business, human services, law, government, mass media, and other assignments, or by pursuing graduate studies leading to college teaching careers.

The programs housed in the department are all designed to provide students with a solid understanding of social processes, social institutions, and the linkages between the individual and the larger social reality. They combine the unique contributions and potential of sociology, anthropology, social work, and criminal justice. We consider one source of our strength to be the multicultural diversity of our department, and we seek every opportunity to expand that strength.

  • In more specific terms, the mission of the department is to prepare students to shape a better world at a time of rapid social change by imparting disciplinary tools and insights that can:
  • Help students recognize and appreciate the concept of multiculturalism and diversity in the global era.
  • Provide strong exposure to liberal arts education characterized by emphasis on social science research methods, critical thinking skills, and historical consciousness.
  • Help students develop knowledge and skills necessary for successful careers in community agencies, government, private employment, and not-for-profit organizations.

The department offers a major in Sociology, Anthropology, Human Services, and Criminal Justice. Graduates of these programs pursue career opportunities in a wide range of settings, including business, government, social services, and the justice system. These degree programs are also designed to prepare students for graduate studies in such areas as sociology, anthropology, social work, criminal justice, and the law.
