人类学+社会学

实践研究

在你大四的时候, you'll have the opportunity to apply your qualitative research skills through an anthropological and sociological lens. 在顶点课程，ANSOC 400:高级研讨会， 学生从事自己选择的原创性研究. 你会形成自己的研究问题, 研究协议, 进行研究, and then analyze and present your findings at a professional academic conference and to your peers and faculty members at the university.

这些是学生研究的一些例子:

为成功的事业做准备

We prepare our students for successful careers throughout your years in the program, 特别是在你的大四. A+S部门与RWU职业中心合作 & 专业发展，帮助每一个学生 develop personal interviewing, résumé-building and networking skills, 举办非正式的咖啡时间, where students can meet with career advisors and get advice on preparing for the job search and interviews. 在春天, we present an alumni panel geared specifically at addressing our current undergraduates' questions about what they can do with a degree in anthropology and sociology. 除了让我们的学生为就业做好准备, we also provide students with opportunities to attend and present at professional conferences, where students share their research with experts in the field and make connections that open doors to job opportunities. 

欣欣向荣的校友

Our major, minor and core concentrators find themselves in all different career fields. However, many draw on the same skills they studied and learned in their anthropology + sociology courses. 他们认为，这些课程让他们对文化更敏感, and this translated into the work they do and their interactions with colleagues. Our alumni say these are some of the qualities and skills that the 人类学+社会学 program provided them:

• 通过了解不同价值观的人, principles, commitments, 和背景, 他们有效地与人和机构合作，并为他们服务.
• Instilling attentiveness to and understanding of group dynamics.
• The ability to understand the different lenses through which people engage the world.
• The 人类学+社会学 program's focus on hands-on projects involving collaboration, data collection and analysis translated directly into understanding the social interactions of the workplace.
