Sociology and Anthropology

We live in a world of complex social constructs. If you are interested in examining issues such as race, class, and gender for the purpose of working towards social justice, then Sociology and Anthropology might be the track you are looking for. We’ll teach you to become an effective change agent through strengthening your cultural sensitivity, compassion, and integrity—while utilizing communication, community-based problem-solving methods, and critical observation.
