Sociology & Anthropology Department
The Sociology & Anthropology Department provides students with a deeper understanding of the social forces and dynamic changes affecting contemporary society. The Department offers majors and minors in anthropology and sociology.
Program Overview
The Sociology & Anthropology Department offers a program that builds important skills, such as systematic observation, critical thinking and writing competence, to best prepare students to understand and resolve societal issues of justice. Students are connected to real world agencies through internship experiences, community-based learning and directed studies that provide a foundation for future job opportunities or graduate studies.
Programs of Study
The Anthropology program at Stonehill focuses on the holistic study and understanding of other cultures from an insider’s point of view and explores the diverse ways in which human beings perceive and order the social world.
The Sociology program prepares students for engaged citizenship and careers. Our graduates work and have continued their education in fields such as education, criminal justice, law, health, social work, human services and related areas.
Learn in the Classroom and in the Field
Stonehill’s low student-teacher ratio allows for individualized attention in the classroom and opportunities to collaborate in the field, often through the Stonehill Undergraduate Research Experience. Learn more about recent sociology and anthropology research projects.
