Lehigh's undergraduate major and minor in anthropology provides students with state-of-the-art training in scientific inquiry, including research methods, statistics, and a deep understanding of social and cultural behaviors. Lehigh's anthropology students say they value not only what they learn through courses, internships, and independent research, but also the personalized attention and active mentoring they receive from faculty. Because these fields are rewarding, and in more ways than one. Students who major in social sciences tend to love what they do, both during and after college. According to 2014 Gallup survey data, social science grads are among the most likely to express strong interest in their jobs, even above graduates with business or engineering degrees. The same study finds that, on average, social science grads enjoy a level of financial well being comparable to that of business grads. The department offers three bachelor of arts majors: anthropology, sociology and anthropology, and sociology. The three programs are parallel in structure and requirements and each consists of 40 credit hours of course work. The sociology and anthropology major is an interdisciplinary program for students desiring a wider familiarity with social science fields, whereas the separate anthropology and sociology majors are for students desiring more traditional, disciplinary programs of study.
