Benefits of Combined Majors • Another option available for SOAN students is to complete a combined major in Sociology and Psychology, Sociology and Geography, or Anthropology and Geography. • The combined majors provide students with a solid foundation in both fields and are ideal for students who like to consider issues from several perspectives. • Combined majors are assigned to a particular faculty advisor in both majors. • There is also an economy to the combined majors – they require fewer credits to complete than pursuing the two majors separately, while giving students a more in-depth background in the fields than a minor.
Sociology and Psychology • The combined Sociology and Psychology majors teach students the skills to approach social issues, theoretically and methodologically, from individual and structural perspectives. • Recent graduates have entered careers in counseling, non-profit organizations, mental health care, or social science research, and have pursued graduate degrees in sociology, psychology, education, social work or nursing.
Geography and the SOAN Major • The combined Geography and SOAN majors can be completed with either a concentration in Anthropology (57-58 credits) or Sociology (66-67 credits). • This option allows students to connect the organization of social life to the human uses of the earth and the environment. • Recent graduates have entered careers in business, Geographic Information Systems, governmental service, and research, and have pursued graduate study in Geography, Sociology, or Anthropology.
