Uraian Tempat

Sociology and anthropology are two dynamic and exciting disciplines that will engage students in an examination of human societies from the past to present. The faculty members’ research and teaching interests reflect the diverse specialty areas of the respective programs. In this diversity of coverage, students are sure to find something of interest. Sociology is the scientific study of human social behavior. It focuses on the factors that organize and structure social activities, as well as those that disorganize and threaten to dissolve them. Anthropology, through its global and comparative approach, explores human biological and cultural diversity both in the past and in the present. Anthropology is traditionally divided into four sub-disciplines (biological anthropology, archaeology, anthropological linguistics, and cultural anthropology) through which it is linked to other social sciences, the natural sciences, and humanities.

Residence Life and Housing provides a living and learning environment that engages students in community development and the practices of positive citizenship. There are 29 historic houses and 11 residence halls. Residence Halls includes McAlister Hall, Kelly House, Joe E. Berry, Rutledge Rivers, Buist Rivers, College Lodge, Craig Hall, McConnell Hall, Warren Place, Historic Houses, George Street Apartment Community, Liberty Street Residence Hall, and Historic Houses. All residence halls and houses are fully air-conditioned and heated. Some units are controlled through the College’s Central Energy Plant with a limited range of resident adjustment. All residence halls use digital recording systems with scanning cameras to record activity in public areas. Audio recording is used at all security desks and main lobbies. All students in residence halls/houses are provided with Cougar ResNet, a 24-7 high-speed Ethernet Internet service connection. Washing machines and dryers are located in all residence halls and most houses. For student’s convenience, food and soft drink machines are located in most residence halls. Certain cooking appliances are prohibited in the residence halls due to the fire hazard threat they pose. These include coffee makers without an automatic shut off switch, any open-coil heating appliance (such as a toaster), electric griddles, Foreman-type grills and waffle makers. Residents in upperclassman housing with a full kitchen may have a toaster or Foreman-type grill provided the item remains in the kitchen. The Office of Residence Life and Housing recognizes the special needs of physically challenged students. They work in conjunction with the Office of Disability Services to coordinate proper facilities and arrangements for students with special physical needs.
