MA/MS in Sociology

The MA in Sociology lets students explore many areas of sociological inquiry. Faculty specialise in culture, family and aging, gender, globalisation, migration, political economy, race and ethnicity, religion, theory and urban sociology. The programme maintains strong ties to nonprofit and community groups, which opens up opportunities for research, internships and employment. Applicants follow the general graduate admission standards and the department's own application requirements. A dual degree option and an accelerated master's pathway are also described in the catalog. Applicants are expected to satisfy the university's graduate admission standards in addition to any requirements set by the department. The catalog sets out the degree requirements, relevant academic policies and contacts, and prospective students are encouraged to review them and to speak with the program before applying.
