Introduction
The sociology and cultural anthropology program at Saint Martin's University provides students with unique opportunities to study contemporary American society and a wide range of cultures in the classroom, in surrounding communities, and in cooperation with campus study abroad programs around the world. The program demonstrates a strong focus on student-centered research.
Why Saint Martin's University?
Whether conducting archival research, taking field trips to museums or local research sites, learning how to interview subjects of research, use participant observational techniques, or study the classics of global ethnography, our students receive well-rounded anthropological training that prepares them for a broad range of jobs or future graduate work.
Political science students will undertake rigorous coursework as they seek to understand the significance of class, race, gender, property relations and other identities in shaping political structures and political behavior. The department will strive to promote social justice and to encourage students to be active, thoughtful members of their community.
Research and Internships
Internship and directed study opportunities allow students wishing to work in museums, public agencies, or non-profit organizations gain on-the-job experience and explore the workplace environments while pursuing their degrees.
