Anthropology and Sociology (BA)

About

Courses in anthropology and sociology are designed to help students develop a critical appreciation of the social-structural and social-cultural dimensions of human behavior and beliefs. They provide the analytic tools and conceptual knowledge to examine and explain social change, various forms of inequality and their consequences, diverse social-cultural identities and experiences, and complex relationships between individual lives and social-cultural forces at local and global scales.

Anthropology
Sociology

Anthropology is the study of human cultures. Webster students study past cultures to learn what methods human societies developed to deal with the complexities of social life, social order, and social change throughout history and pre-history. Understanding what came before provides insights into present-day cultural questions and issues, and can help shape solutions.

Students may choose an undergraduate minor focused on cultural anthropology or archaeology, or combine the two in a 4-year bachelor's degree. Anthropology studies contribute to careers in many sectors, including:

Government - cultural and natural resource management, international development and forensic anthropology
Academics - medicine, epidemiology, public health, linguistics, education, and ecology
Business and technology - consumer insights, market research and more
Non-profit organizations - community health, finance, and cultural advocacy
