The SJU Linguistics Program is designed to heighten students’ awareness of the complex nature of language and communication and their important, but often overlooked role, in daily life. Linguistics courses aim to increase students’ knowledge and understanding of human communication and to understand the nature of language in general, bringing students to a point where they can apply this knowledge in particular fields such as criminal justice, education, forensics, languages, law, psychology, sociology, speech therapy, or translation. Linguistics students will be prepared to become language professionals, pursue graduate studies in linguistics or TESOL, or to practice the skills of a linguist in a variety of professional fields, including speech therapy/ pathology.

The program in economics enables students to understand the basic concepts, theories, and techniques of economics as they apply to economic problems and policies. These may focus on macroeconomics, applied microeconomics, quantitative economics, or economic history. Whatever courses students take, they will become familiar with the way economists think about problems and devise solutions to them. Although the program does not offer specialized professional training in economics, it provides excellent preparation for graduate work in economics, the study of law, and careers in business or government. Students should consult a department adviser about field courses that fit their needs.

This paper describes the structure and composition of ant communities in the pre-Saharan steppe of Algeria. The study focused on three stations located in two regions with different climates: semi-arid (Aflou) and arid (Laghouat). Ants were collected between March 2013 and February 2014, using pitfall trap sampling over a four-season period and quadrat counting techniques. A total of 20 ant species have been identified, which belong to 8 genera in three subfamilies: Dolichoderinae, Myrmicinae and Formicinae. Moreover, it was noticed that the study areas, which can be characterized by their floristic nature, physiognomic and even edaphic aspects, directly influence the ant community ecology and distribution. We classified them in both eurytopic and stenotopic species. It was also observed, using a Correspondence Factorial Analysis (CFA), that the ants’ activity is seasonal and often correlated with temperature fluctuation and trophic availability.

Anthropology is the comparative study of human diversity through time and across the world. Its scope spans the humanities, the social sciences, and the biological, physical, and evolutionary sciences. As a history of the human species, anthropology studies all human biological and behavioral variation from the earliest fossil records to the present; it includes the study of nonhuman primates as well. As a social science, anthropology aims at uncovering the patterns of past and present societies. As one of the humanities, anthropology seeks to understand the ways cultural meaning and political power have shaped human experience.
