About this Degree

Anthropology and Sociology (ANSO) is an interdisciplinary program that offers students a critical introduction to both disciplines, putting particular emphasis on how each uniquely addresses race, gender, sexuality, economy, and environment. Students develop a wide array of research skills and learn how to make use of them and the two disciplinary perspectives in ways that foster justice and recognize and honor commitments to communities. Applied and community-engaged learning are encouraged and supported with appropriate training.
