This Master of Arts in Sociology is a thesis-focused program completed over one year across three terms of in-person study at Acadia University's Wolfville, Nova Scotia campus. The first term combines thesis work with a sociological methodology course, a graduate seminar, and one elective; the second term adds sociological theory alongside continued thesis work and a further elective; the third term is dedicated to completing the thesis. Faculty support research on aging, disability, gender and sexuality, health inequities, social movements, and social policy, using qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, or theoretical approaches. Admission generally requires an honours degree in sociology, including coursework in social theory and research methods, along with a statement of research interests, a writing sample, a CV, transcripts, and two references. The program suits students preparing for further academic research or doctoral study in sociology who want close supervision on an independent research project.
