Winthrop offers the intimate faculty-student connection and quality of a private institution, but with a public university price-tag. The complimentary way that sociology, criminology and anthropology courses overlap in our program gives our students much more breadth than they get at other institutions.

Winthrop’s sociology, criminology and anthropology program is unique in its multidisciplinary perspective, its intense focus on career-readiness courses and its high-touch approach to student mentoring.
