Anthropology
Anthropology is the study of humans past and present. From our prehistoric ancestors to modern communities, anthropologists explore cultures, languages, beliefs, evolution, biology and behaviors across the globe and throughout time. In our classes, you'll examine what it means to be human and gain a deeper understanding of how people live, connect, and evolve over time.Anthropology - AA
Sociology
Sociology looks at how society works and why it sometimes doesn’t. Sociologists study groups, institutions, and social forces like race, class, gender, and inequality. Through this lens, you’ll explore how everyday life is shaped by larger systems and how people can work together to create change.Sociology: AA
Sociology: AA-T
Women's Studies
Women’s Studies focuses on gender, power, and social justice. You’ll study the experiences of women and marginalized groups, analyze systems of oppression, and explore movements for equality. It’s a space to ask bold questions, challenge the status quo, and find your voice in the fight for equity.Women's Studies: AA
