Program Overview

Founded in the mid-1890s, the Department of Sociology is one of the oldest sociology schools in the United States. The MA program in Sociology offers students tools and knowledge to think systematically about society, and develops their analytical, research, and writing skills.

Our MA offers students opportunities to develop analytical and research competencies that are valuable for careers in public policy, business, criminal justice, government, or various other organizations and industries that rely on social research. Students interested in research and analysis can enhance their understanding with courses in statistics, programming, and advanced research methods.

The MA program is 30 credits and its curriculum is organized along five tracks or principal fields: (1) Crime and Justice Studies; (2) Global and Comparative Processes; (3) Public Policy Analysis; (4) Health, Society and Policy; and (5) Global Migration and Refugee Studies. Students may work with the faculty in their area of interest if it does not fit neatly into one of the standard tracks. In addition to core courses, students take 18 credits of elective courses, 3 of which can be satisfied by the thesis option. To fulfill the requirements for one of the tracks, students must take at least three courses within the track and pass these courses with a minimum grade of "B" or better. Majors who complete the course requirements for one or more tracks will be awarded a certificate of completion upon graduation.
