The mission of the Anthropology, Sociology, and Women’s Studies department is to promote appreciation, understanding and respect for cultural and biological diversity using scientific principles. The three distinct disciplines of the department provide a variety of courses for students seeking AA degrees, transfer opportunities, and careers, including professional and personal growth. Through diverse curriculum and pedagogy emphasizing academic reading, writing, critical thinking and laboratory experiences, we prepare students to successfully engage a diverse cultural and social environment in the community and workforce.
