ÃÛѨÊÓƵ's Department of Sociology and Anthropology (SOAN) offers a rigorous interdisciplinary sociology-anthropology curriculum with breadth across the core and depth in each major. Our program is unique in that we have a joint department, yet separate majors. While focusing on the one you're most interested in, you still get the best of both and gain a broader perspective and understanding of human behavior.

While studying in our department, take advantage of engaging opportunities and activities that develop the types of skills .
