专业描述

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Howard University strives to be a recognized leader in critical, public and applied sociology. Specifically, we seek to develop cutting edge research in the service of efforts to overcome poverty, racism, and other forms of social inequality, not just within the United States, but globally, with special attention to questions involving the criminal justice system and struggles for health equity and climate and environmental justice. Students who major or minor in our programs should expect rigorous training reflecting the state of the art in social theory and quantitative and qualitative empirical research methods as well as in our three substantive areas of concentration. This training will prepare them both intellectually and practically for a wide range of careers in which they may contribute to the solution of pressing real-world social problems.
