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.
