Sociology and Anthropology "Future" Files

The department maintains information about graduate programs--guides to departments and brochures about specific programs in sociology and anthropology--just outside Suite 306 in Monroe Hall. There is also a file of articles and pamphlets to show sociology and anthropology students what they may do with their undergraduate degree in the work force. The faculty posts announcements and information about careers and graduate work on the bulletin boards in the third floor hallway. The flyers, brochures, and guides include information about

• fellowships and scholarships for those continuing their education

• universities offering study abroad in sociology and in anthropology

• information about companies and agencies offering internships

• internships already approved by Mary Washington College for credit

• local, national, and international agencies that accept volunteer assistance.

We strongly urge majors to begin to think about their futures by at least the beginning of the junior year. Internships, summer field programs, and volunteer activities are most helpful in providing experiences that can help make career decisions. Please feel free to get in touch with Dr Joan Olson or Dr Debra Schleef, Career Advisors in Sociology, or Dr Margaret Huber, Career Advisor in Anthropology, for more information about careers or graduate work.
