The Sociology graduate program focuses on developing research scholars and educators in the field. Participants pursue diverse career paths, including academic research, teaching, and roles in public or private sector research and administration. The master's curriculum offers specialized instruction in sociological theory, statistical analysis, and research methodologies. Key areas of study include Gender and Sexuality Studies, Immigration and Global Studies, Medical Sociology, Race and Ethnic Relations, and Urban Sociology. Temple University's College of Liberal Arts provides comprehensive training through its 31-credit Master of Arts in Sociology program, equipping students with essential skills in data interpretation, statistical analysis, fieldwork, and research techniques for careers in research, social services, or doctoral studies. Through this program, students develop a sophisticated comprehension of how sociological frameworks and investigations illuminate connections between personal experiences and societal structures. The curriculum examines critical themes such as gender identity, national belonging, sexual orientation, and racial dynamics while teaching students to investigate and address the root causes of social issues.
