About Sociology in Baruch College
The behavioral sciences of sociology and anthropology help students develop an appreciation and understanding of the myriad structures and processes that characterize life in social groups. While sociology tends to concentrate on complex modern societies, exploring societal change and institutions, anthropology tends to cover a wider span, focusing on both Western and non-Western societies.
Introductory courses offer a broad overview of the complexity of world cultures and American society. Advanced courses provide an in-depth focus on particular world areas, social institutions or significant social trends.
For sociology majors interested in social work, the department offers courses that provide experiential as well as theoretical exposure to the field, including actual work experience in recognized social work agencies.
