Anthropology and Sociology

Sociology and Anthropology are core disciplines of the social sciences that examine the processes of social and cultural life in diverse human societies, past and present. The presence of both disciplines provides our Department with a unique feature that is reflected in the cross-fertilization of ideas at every level of the academic curriculum: cross-listed courses, one joint specialization program in Anthropology and Sociology, and interdisciplinary research projects.

Joint Specialization in Anthropology and Sociology — 60 credits

The Joint Specialization in Anthropology and Sociology provides a unique opportunity for acquiring a solid training in the social and cultural analysis of societies. The program builds on the joint characteristics of the Department to cover a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives applied to substantive areas through specific courses.
