Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Philosophy
The Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Philosophy at NKU is composed of three programs that examine the human condition.

Each program offers a bachelor's degree and one or more minor in these three unique fields of study: 

  • Sociology focuses on the scientific study of human society and social relations.

  • Anthropology studies both past and present people's material remains (archaeological anthropology), biology (biological/physical anthropology), culture (cultural anthropology), and language (linguistic anthropology).

  • Philosophy explores the values and beliefs that affect human conduct and examines the fundamental questions about our existence.
