Sociology and Anthropology
Return to: College of Liberal Arts
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology welcomes you. We are committed to excellent teaching and research on social and cultural issues that shape the U.S.-Mexico borderlands and elsewhere, past and present. We are proud of the accomplishments of our students, and we are committed to work to apply social science to the goals of the El Paso-Ciudad Juárez region and its people.
