Faculty
In addition to teaching undergraduate and graduate
courses, the full-time faculty members are actively involved in
their respective disciplines. Each year they publish numerous articles
and books, present papers at state, regional and national meetings
and secure research grants from private, state and federal sources
to advance knowledge in their disciplines. All teaching faculty
of the department possess first-hand research experience in their
specialties. From their first introductory courses to graduate level
seminars, students will be taught by Ph.D. sociologists and anthropologists
who have established national--and in some cases international--reputations
in their field.
