The General Concentration in Sociology and Anthropology offer a broad overview of the two major fields that make up the joint major and provide students with a broader range of courses to choose from to complete their requirements. Students interested in careers in healthcare, community services, teaching, or public service may be interested in these options.

Upon complete of the general concentration, students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate a critical understanding of the different methods used in the social sciences to investigate society

  • Demonstrate an understanding of globalization and the increasing interdependence of societies

  • Demonstrate a critical understanding of how social institutions and practices shape individuals' everyday lives

  • Demonstrate a critical understanding of the structural dimensions of social inequalities. 

The concentration in Critical Criminology & Social Justice (CCSJ) offer students critical approaches to the study of crime, criminality, policing, and incarceration, with attention to social justice issues that arise in these areas (concerning, for example, the place of race, gender, class, disability, age and ethnicity in the justice and prison systems). Students interested in careers in community activism and criminal justice may be interested in these options.

Upon complete of the concentration in CCSJ students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate a foundation in theories of criminology and social justice.

  • Apply analytical techniques to critically assess major issues in criminology and social justice

  • Apply techniques for studying criminality, policing, rights, social justice and violence from multiple perspectives

  • Demonstrate a critical understanding of contemporary issues related to race, security and urban governance
