Department of Sociology & Anthropology

Sociology  and Anthropology provide students with skills in data collection and analysis, in understanding human interaction and social organization, and in understanding cultural differences.  These skills may be useful in a variety of employment settings, including social work and criminal justice; management, administration and personnel work; marketing research and public relations, retailing, and consulting.  Students should establish an ongoing relationship with the Office of Career Services to help articulate their skills, sharpen their career objectives, and search effectively for jobs in their chosen field.  The Office of Career Services offers numerous print and on-line resources to help Sociology and Anthropology majors think about jobs in which their special skills may be used.

In addition, many of our alumni are willing to talk to current students about their careers after the sociology and anthropology degree. They can be found in the Alumni Directory.
