Sociology & Anthropology

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Ohio Wesleyan University

Program Overview

The SOAN Department focuses on the shared intellectual tradition and methods of sociology and cultural anthropology. As a major, you will follow a carefully designed curriculum that begins at the foundations of social science and branches into topics that are critical to understanding human behavior in society and across cultures in the contemporary era. Beyond foundational coursework in social thought and classes that reflect student interest, you will have many opportunities to apply sociological and anthropological knowledge and skill to prepare you for a vast array of career options. These experiences come in the form of service-based learning, research experiences, and the many opportunities for off-campus learning (domestic and international). Our graduates are well-prepared to use the explanatory power of the disciplines to enter a great diversity of careers upon graduation or continue to graduate school in either field.
