Alumni Success
Our various undergraduate and graduate programs in Sociology and Anthropology have prepared and equipped our graduates in innumerable ways for both careers and for life. As some of these testimonials of alumni demonstrate, there are plenty of career paths that you can explore with an undergraduate or graduate degree in Sociology or Anthropology. In addition to the meaningful careers many of our graduates have forged, the skills, relationships, and perspectives they have gained through our Department have informed some of the activities, social projects, and dreams they have pursued.
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology also takes a concerted effort on keeping in touch with our alumni and to draw on the knowledge and expertise of some of them for the benefit of our current students and Department at large.
