consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of human groups and how people act within social contexts. Since all human behavior is social, the subject matter of Sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to religious movements; from the divisions of race, class, and gender to the shared beliefs of a common culture; from work lives to digital selves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anthropology\u2019s diverse subject matter of human beings in all times and places reflects the discipline\u2019s interest in human culture dating from the Paleolithic past to contemporary times; from distant societies to the myriad subcultures of the Western world; from the biological bases of human behavior to our most elaborate cultural creations; and in the interaction of diverse peoples from colonial to modern contexts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students develop the conceptual and analytic skills for understanding identity, behavior, culture, power, and social change. Coursework and curriculum in the Sociology and Anthropology program emphasize practical application of skills to a variety of social questions. Our students develop a critical, historical, and comparative perspective on social worlds and an appreciation for cultural diversity. The program\u2019s close and supportive relationship with local groups and organizations provides a basis for meaningful student involvement in problem-solving. Practical experiences culminate in a senior capstone designed and carried out under faculty supervision.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Graduates will be able to describe and explain how people interact with one another and their environment in specific social and cultural contexts across time and space.<\/li>\n<li>Graduates will be able to systematically document, analyze and interpret social and cultural patterns in human experience.<\/li>\n<li>Graduates will be able to write and to speak effectively.<\/li>\n<li>Graduates will practice ethical and civically engaged sociology and anthropology.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-mavpscha-b1e67c8b16748b49e2493f950a52940c-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_heading '><a href="https:\/\/catalog.sou.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=17&amp;poid=5196"  class='avia-button av-mavpscha-b1e67c8b16748b49e2493f950a52940c av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-dark'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"SEE COURSE REQUIREMENTS\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >SEE COURSE REQUIREMENTS<\/span><\/a><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7a4mq2g-ccb179409e21f1056e60bb3004d3c1f2\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-7a4mq2g-ccb179409e21f1056e60bb3004d3c1f2{\npadding-bottom:20px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-7a4mq2g-ccb179409e21f1056e60bb3004d3c1f2 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-7a4mq2g-ccb179409e21f1056e60bb3004d3c1f2 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-7a4mq2g-ccb179409e21f1056e60bb3004d3c1f2 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-7a4mq2g-ccb179409e21f1056e60bb3004d3c1f2 av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_button  el_before_av_textblock  right-pillow'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Degree Fit<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lrguo3z8-65df738ca56f82e18da0630a0eedf6f9 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock right-pillow av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Program Preparation<\/h4>\n<p>All majors are required to complete SOAN foundation courses: One course from SOAN 204 or 205; \u00a0one course from SOAN 211, 213, or 214; and one additional from the previously listed courses. In addition, SOAN students are required to take MTH 243, as a prerequisite to the major\u2019s research methods sequence.<\/p>\n<h4>Degree Roadmap<\/h4>\n<p>Our curriculum emphasizes an appreciation of cultural diversity and a critical, historical, and comparative perspective on social worlds. Students develop the conceptual and analytic skills for understanding identity, behavior, culture, power, and social change. All students complete 12 credits in foundation courses and 16 credits in social research methods, preparing them for their capstone sequence. With a variety of courses, students can tailor their major experience to Sociology, Anthropology, Archaeology or a mix of all three!<\/p>\n<h4>Capstone<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All majors complete a rigorous 16-credit research methods sequence and a year-long capstone experience that requires students to put their Anthropological and Sociological skills to work through individual projects of their own design. Students engage in learning in and out of the classroom to prepare for a wide range of careers and graduate education.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close
