Sociology examines social interactions, ranging from intimate circles to vast organizational systems. It explores how factors like race, gender, sexual orientation, age, and socioeconomic status influence power dynamics and interpersonal connections. Our MA in Sociology provides advanced study with personalized guidance from distinguished faculty specializing in six key disciplines. Students can choose among four program completion routes:
thesis track (2 years)
extended research project (1 year), or
two distinct course-based alternatives (1 year).
The Social Psychology coursework concentration allows graduate students to specialize in sociological aspects of human behavior, particularly how social contexts shape individual actions and relationships.
