Major: Sociology/Anthropology


Dowling's School of Arts and Sciences degree programs are constructed upon a well-rounded core curriculum of arts and humanities, natural science, math, and social sciences. These are the classic building blocks that ensure career versatility in an ever-changing world.

Students majoring in sociology and anthropology explore and learn to understand the social and personal dimensions of human experience. Students on the anthropology/sociology track learn the origins and development of social institutions and acquire knowledge of the diversity of human cultures, urban society, social change, and social organizations.

For students interested in a career as a social worker, the social work concentration option will prepare you for the graduate studies required for this career.
