Overview

The Sociology and Anthropology program at Elmira College will give you a structured way to learn about the social structures people create together, called social institutions.

Key facts

The program focuses on the relationship between individual choices and social contexts, and introduces you to different cultures.

Sociology and Anthropology emphasizes research and experiential learning. In your courses, you'll gather and analyze data about society and culture.

Also, prior to graduating, you'll complete an independent social science research project.

Sociologists investigate social institutions including family, education, the economy, medicine, and the media. Anthropology is the broad and inclusive study of human beings.

At Elmira College, the degree program focuses especially on cultural anthropology, with introductions also to biological anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics. Both fields prepare you to understand the ways our individual choices are influenced by larger social forces.

Careers and opportunities

Sociology and Anthropology majors are prepared for a wide range of careers dealing with people, cultures, and communities.

Students go into careers in law, law enforcement, social justice work, education, social services, political organizing, international development, management, research, community development, museum, and archival work.

Many bring their social scientific training to health fields, including public health and public administration, or they become educators.
