This combined BA degree is designed for those students who are interested in both sociology and anthropology. It focuses on those areas of the two disciplines where there is convergence in theory and methods. Through the SANT major, students are introduced to major substantive areas in both disciplines. The major allows enough choice in electives that students may focus on a broader perspective in social science than is available in either the single sociology major or the single anthropology major.  Students interested in pursuing the joint Sociology-Anthropology major should consult one of the departmental Chairpersons or Undergraduate Program Directors.
