• Offers strong undergraduate major programs and exposes majors to the breadth and richness of sociology, anthropology, and criminal justice.

• Contributes essential learning opportunities in sociology, anthropology, and criminal justice to students across the university through general education.

• Teaches students in innovative, exciting, and effective ways and provides them with independent study, honors, and capstone experiences that deepen learning.

• Provides students with important opportunities for civic engagement through independent research, internships, and service learning.

• Provides students with advising that guides their academic progress towards timely graduation and that helps them formulate relevant career goals and choices.

• Works closely with students in collaborative research and projects that serve the campus, students, and the community.

• Enables students to use the knowledge and methodologies of their disciplines for conceptual thinking, critical analysis, oral and written communication, and the application of appropriate information technologies.

• Participates in multidisciplinary relationships and programs and pursues new multidisciplinary curricular initiatives at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

• Develops and maintains strong associations with potential employers of our students through internships and other partnerships.
