Welcome to the web site for the Department of Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology at Utah State University. Our department offers undergraduate degree programs in Anthropology, Social Work, and Sociology. We also offer an interdisciplinary Master of Social Science degree program in International Rural and Community Development, and Masters and PhD degree programs in Sociology. A Master of Social Work program began Fall 2008, and an MS program in Archaeology and CRM began Fall 2009.
Students in each of our degree programs have the opportunity to take courses from and work with faculty members who are nationally and internationally prominent teachers and researchers. Our programs are carefully designed to provide extensive opportunities for students to engage in hands-on learning experiences both in classroom settings and through participation on faculty members’ research projects. Our location in northern Utah provides extensive access to recreational activities in the mountains of the surrounding Bear River Range while also providing access to the services and amenities available in a growing and vibrant small urban community.
If you have questions about the Department, please feel free to contact us for further information.
