Master of Science - Sociology

The study of sociology helps students develop a greater appreciation for the diversity of human experience. Rigorous yet collaborative coursework in social science research, sociological theory and social diversity is coupled with service learning, internship, independent study, student research, and volunteer opportunities.

The graduate program in sociology is designed to provide students training in research methods and theories of our disciplines that may be used to identify and address a wide range of social issues that directly  and indirectly affect individuals and their communities. The program specifically emphasizes social justice, identifying its barriers and constraints, and seeking ways to mitigate them.
