As part of Carleton’s assessment initiative, the SOAN Department has identified four Student Learning Outcomes for SOAN majors. These are in addition to Carleton’s broader outcomes for all students.
As a SOAN major, you will learn to:
- Articulate the complexity of contemporary socio-cultural phenomena in their many dimensions (e.g. temporal, structural, spatial and symbolic).
- Formulate appropriate sociological and/or anthropological research questions about socio-cultural phenomena.
- Select appropriate sociological and/or anthropological research methods to study socio-cultural phenomena.
- Apply sociological and anthropological theory to analyze socio-cultural phenomena.
