Carleton University's Sociology graduate programs have held national prominence since the master's program was first established in the 1960s. Our graduate studies primarily examine the structure and evolution of modern societies through comparative analysis, with special emphasis on Canadian society. A distinctive aspect of our programs is their student-focused approach. We firmly believe students should shape their graduate education to best meet their individual needs. Additionally, we provide a specialized track in Quantitative Methodology.
