Student Resources

At 老司机福利网, learning about sociology and anthropology doesn鈥檛 have to stop in the classroom or in the field.

The SLU Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers opportunities to get involved on campus, meet classmates with similar interests and get a jump start on your professional aspirations. We also ensure that you perform up to your potential and stay on track for graduation. 

Anthropology Club

A group of anthropology students and faculty established the Anthropology Club because they were interested in learning more about the application and potential careers in the field and the relevance anthropology has in both our studies and our lives outside of the classroom.

Anthropology Honor Society

Lambda Alpha is the international honor society for students of anthropology. The society was founded to encourage scholarship and research in Anthropology. SLU has had a chapter since 2013.

The national organization recognizes superiority, providing incentives for exceptional performance by granting certificates of accomplishment. Lambda Alpha also offers an annual scholarship of $5,000 to a deserving graduating senior from a chartered department majoring in anthropology. In addition, a graduate research grant is designed to encourage overseas thesis research. The award can range from $2,000 to $6,000.

Lambda Alpha also publishes the Lambda Alpha Journal, which reserves half of its
space for student publications that have passed a peer review process. This provides an excellent opportunity for students to have their work published nationally.

Probation and Dismissal Policies

Earning a final grade of C- or lower in a course (excluding a 鈥淲") will trigger a review by the department. If you qualify for a review and are found to have a major GPA lower than 2.0 in your major coursework, you will be placed on probation for the following semester.

You will remain on probation until your cumulative major GPA is at or above 2.0. You will have two probationary semesters (P1 after the initial review and P2 after a second semester of falling below 2.0) to correct your cumulative GPA. If you do not take a course in the major during a semester after being put on probation, the next evaluation period will occur only when you take the next course in your major area. Upon falling below the 2.0 GPA for a third semester (semesters do not need to be consecutive), you will qualify for program dismissal and will be removed from the program.
