Both concentrations of the anthropology and sociology degree require a core of lower- and upper-division courses. Earn your B.A. with a foreign language requirement, or your B.S. with just 12 more science credits.
Lower-division courses give a background in general anthropology and sociology. Upper-division classes explore theory and practice; in both concentrations, you have the chance to complete in-depth research, working directly with faculty to develop critical thinking, analytical skills, general statistical practices and reflection.
You will also have ample opportunity through courses and assignments to engage society and culture outside the virtual classroom and address real-world problems.
