Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice

Building People and Communities

• Our History

  Clemson University has long understood the importance of examining the social world. Even as far back as 1908 when Clemson was still an agricultural school, sociology courses could be found in the course catalog. Sociology continued to be a regular part of the curriculum until the late 1970s when it became its own degree program. Anthropology was added much more recently in 2013 and Criminal Justice quickly followed suit in 2017. The addition of these new disciplines to the department provided an innovative approach to Clemson’s long tradition of the pursuit of social understanding. Now, the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice boasts seven degree programs and thousands of alumni.
