Anthropology and Sociology Degree

This guide has been published to assist students in preparing for transfer to Webster University from St. Louis Community College in the areas of Anthropology and Sociology. This should not be used in place of individual academic advising. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with a Webster University transfer admissions counselor early in their academic career to ensure a smooth transfer experience.

The Anthropology and Sociology degree provides students with a deeper appreciation of the social and cultural dimensions of human behavior and beliefs. Students in this major gain critical thinking skills that help to examine and explain social change, inequality, and cultural diversity within a rapidly changing world. Learning takes place both inside and outside of the classroom with an array of research and internship opportunities that instill in students pivotal career skills in cultural competence, problem solving, and teamwork. This major prepares students for careers in the 21st century ranging from technology, global public health, social work, international business, and public service.

A minimum of 120 credit hours consisting of the following:

  • Applicable University Global Citizenship Program hours
  • Required credit hours for the Major
  • International language requirement^
  • Electives

In addition to the required courses in the major, many students are required to have three to six credit hours^ in a non- native language (expertise demonstrated by coursework or testing). Courses used towards the international language requirement may also be used to fulfill general education/GCP requirements or a major/minor in a foreign language. Students whose native language is not English and who are studying in English will be considered to have achieved their foreign language requirement if they successfully pass an ESL test of their English proficiency (e.g., TOEFL).

  • Anthropology and Sociology majors are required to have a minimum of 3 credit hours of a non-native language.

When considering an application, Webster looks for evidence of potential for academic success. A cumulative GPA on all college level coursework of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale is preferred; however, each applicant is given individual consideration. If you have circumstances which might affect your admission this may be discussed confidentially with a member of the admissions staff. The University operates on rolling admission, and application files are reviewed by an admissions counselor as soon as all requested credentials have been received.

Each transfer applicant must submit:

  • A completed Application for Admission
  • $35.00 non-refundable application fee
  • An official transcript from St. Louis Community College, and an official transcript from all other postsecondary institutions previously attended mailed to:
    Webster University Office of Admissions

  • Webster has a minimum residency requirement that 30 of the student’s last 36 credits must be taken at Webster University. All students must have a minimum of 120 credit hours to graduate.
  • Transfer students can apply up to 15 credit hours of approved coursework in the respective major from another institution. Students may transfer in 3-6 credit hours of approved foreign language coursework to meet the international language requirement.
  • Within each major, a specified number of credits must be upper level.
    • Anthropology and Sociology majors must take a minimum of 12 hours at the 3000/4000-level
  • Students must earn a grade of C- or better in any course they wish to apply toward the major or general education/GCP.
  • Webster University provides full transfer of coursework successfully completed as part of an associate degree awarded by a regionally accredited institution.

Transfer of additional lower-division credit beyond the associate degree is restricted. All transfer credit is capped at 90 credit hours.

All transfer coursework must be college-level (100-level or above) with a passing grade. Pass/Fail courses will count for transfer credit if the student received a Pass.

Formal evaluation of transfer credit is conducted by the Office of the Registrar upon admission to the University.

Webster University is participating in the Missouri Reverse Transfer statewide initiative to help more Missourians earn associate degrees. Webster has partnered with each community college in the state to help students apply Webster University credit back to the community college to earn the associate degree, if they transferred prior to earning the degree. Please speak with your transfer admissions counselor or academic advisor for more information.

Webster University requires all baccalaureate students to complete a general education program. The University has implemented a new set of general education requirements. The Global Citizenship Program (GCP) is a set of undergraduate degree requirements and a general education program developed by Webster University faculty to help prepare students to confront global problems and 21st century challenges.

  • Courses completed with a grade below a C- do not count toward fulfilling the specific course requirements of the major or general education/Global Citizenship Program.
  • Most students who major in the School of Communications must complete a portfolio review as a requirement for graduation. While the majority of work students will exhibit for this review should come from assignments in their courses at Webster University, students may also include exceptional work they have completed at other institutions. Therefore, the departments suggest incoming transfer students save any such work they deem appropriate for the portfolio review. Any questions about the portfolio review process should be directed to their academic advisor.
  • Webster University provides full transfer of coursework successfully completed as part of an associate degree awarded by a regionally accredited institution. While students with associate degrees typically transfer 60-64 credit hours, Webster will transfer in all coursework that is part of the completed associate degree.
