Welcome to SASW!
Welcome to the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work. We are a diverse but interrelated set of disciplines that study our shared humanity. As a department, we help develop critical thinkers and strong social scientists while fostering a passion for understanding society. Sociology at Kansas State is a vibrant program focused on exploring the causes and consequences of pressing social issues. Our Anthropology Program equips students with the ability to identify and meet the challenges of the shifting cultural realities of our Nation and World. Social Workers help people deal with their relationships with others, solve their personal, family, and community problems, and grow and develop by learning to cope with or shape the social environments. If you want to make a difference, our department will give you the specific tools needed. If you want to know more about the world around you, we help you find the answers and ask the right questions. Please reach out to me or faculty in our programs if you have any questions and would like to meet to further explore our programs.
