West Virginia University Department of Sociology and Anthropology Details
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology is comprised of three B.A. majors, Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminology, making us the departmental home for over 600 undergraduate students enrolled in Eberly's College for Arts and Sciences. In Fall 2016, the department launched the first Sociology doctoral program in the state of West Virginia. Our courses are interdisciplinary, which means they serve non-majors as well as majors. We offer academic minors in Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminology. Students benefit from close training and collaboration with faculty and have developed research clusters to highlight areas on interest and research. Current clusters focus on cannabis and on religion. Our students demonstrate high achievement and actively participate in community engagement, extra-curricular, and professional development opportunities. Students research alongside faculty, serve as social action fellows, and present research at academic conferences. The department has the highest credit-hour production of any department in the Eberly College, and one of the highest in the University.
