MA/MS in Sociology

The master's degree in sociology is awarded by the sociology department within the arts and sciences college. The department runs a nationally ranked graduate program at both the master's and doctoral levels, and its training reflects a global outlook on social issues. A handful of students take the terminal master's each year. Most then enter doctoral programs at other universities, while a few move into public service, industry or applied research. Applicants should hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent and have completed an undergraduate statistics course. A grade point average of at least three on a four-point scale is typical, and applicants are asked to name the degree they want on the application. This description is based on the official university page for the program. Applicants should confirm current requirements, dates and costs with the department before applying.
