Sociology/Anthropology 

Overview

The disciplines of sociology and anthropology have many commonalities: both investigate the social world that we inhabit, both examine and explain how human behaviors relate to cultural context and social environment, and both study the social interactions of people, groups and entire societies. With the BA in Sociology/Anthropology at Pace University , you’ll gain an evolutionary, comparative, and comprehensive view of your society and of other societies in our world. 

Career

The program offers students the opportunity to acquire unique skills that make for highly competitive candidates on the job market. Since sociologists/anthropologists know a lot about people and diverse cultures, they are frequently hired as consultants by businesses and governments. Some start their own consulting firms. 

Many sociology / anthropology graduates choose to continue their education by attaining master’s degrees or PhDs in one of the two disciplines. Those with master’s degrees are typically qualified to teach at the secondary/high-school level, or in community colleges. 

Those with PhDs can teach at four-year colleges and universities, and normally are required to maintain an active research agenda which includes publishing the results of their research in books and scholarly journals.
