It is human nature to question our origins and culture. It is also human nature to analyze relationships and social structures. As long as people have lived, anthropologists have studied human beings, their characteristics, ancestry, physiology and evolution. At the same time, sociologists have studied human relationships in society and the interactions of organized groups. The Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Anthropology, with an Anthropology track allows students to concentrate in anthropology, so they may fully discover cultures and societies and their stories.
