Overview

No matter what your long term plans are, you’ll want to understand the social and cultural forces shaping the world in which we live.

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Agnes Scott College trains students to understand the social and cultural forces shaping the world in which we live, giving students the tools to question and engage with key social issues.

The curriculum emphasizes critical analysis, written and oral communication, international experience, and internships. Students are trained in qualitative and quantitative research methods and acquire the practical tools that sociologists and anthropologists use to make sense of social phenomena.

Careers

Because the field is so broad-ranging, a degree in sociology prepares you for a wide variety of jobs.

Students with this major will study the systems and structures that govern interactions within society and communities. The communication and critical thinking skills you’ll acquire will prepare you for advanced graduate study or a variety of professional fields.
