Program Summary

Sociology and Anthropology as a course explore human society, culture, and behavior from different perspectives. Sociology focuses on social structures, institutions, relationships, and patterns of human interaction. It examines issues like inequality, race, gender, family, politics, and globalization, using theories and research methods to analyze how society shapes individuals and vice versa. 

 

Anthropology takes a broader view of humanity, studying cultures, traditions, languages, and biological evolution across time and space. It is divided into subfields such as cultural anthropology, which looks at customs and beliefs; archaeology, which studies past societies through material remains; linguistic anthropology, which examines language and communication; and physical anthropology, which explores human evolution and biological diversity.

 

The course combines theoretical learning with practical research, teaching students qualitative and quantitative methods like surveys, interviews, ethnography, and statistical analysis. It encourages critical thinking, cross-cultural understanding, and analytical skills, preparing students for careers in education, research, social work, public policy, and international development. Sociology and Anthropology provide a deeper understanding of human life, diversity, and the forces shaping our world today.
