The MA Thesis program involves enrolling in a mix of required and elective courses covering research design, theory, and methodology, culminating in thesis work focused on your chosen specialization. Ideal for those passionate about sociology and criminology, this program offers rigorous academic training.
During their initial term, students must take the online INT D 710 course to satisfy the Ethics and Academic Citizenship Requirement. Additionally, they must complete a Professional Development component designed to help identify strengths, explore interests, acquire career-building skills, and establish valuable professional networks.
Program duration depends on each applicant's academic background and research focus, though most students typically finish within at least two years.
