About the Sociology Master鈥檚 Program

The Department offers an established graduate program leading to the Master of Arts in Sociology with options in General听Sociology and Research Skills. The program is designed to provide all students with a strong foundation in sociological theory and research methodology. The graduate program is designed to allow for a substantial degree of student choice. Students may choose a macro- or micro-based program of study and select from several areas for further specialization or experience. These areas include, but are not restricted to, such concentrations as social research; sociology of education; community and clinical sociology; law and society; criminology and deviance; and general sociology.听 Finally, students may choose one of the following options to complete their program of graduate study: comprehensive exam, thematic project or thesis. Students with an interest in teaching and administrative applications of the degree are encouraged to complete via examination. Those with research interests or who may wish to pursue advanced graduate study toward a doctoral degree are encouraged to opt for the thesis or thematic project options. The project option is also a great option for students interested in applied sociology.
