Engage in groundbreaking research through one of Texas' top sociology programs. Our graduate curriculum prepares students for academic careers and practical sociology applications. You'll collaborate directly with professors on studies covering diverse fields like gender studies, racial and ethnic relations, global research, urban development, population studies, aging, workplace dynamics, family structures, and environmental sociology. The MA and MS programs provide comprehensive training across sociological disciplines while fostering professional research skills. Those aiming for a PhD after their master's are advised to complete a thesis, which involves core coursework plus 15 additional credit hours and a defended thesis. Alternatively, the non-thesis path requires 30 course hours and culminates in a comprehensive examination administered by your advisory committee.

Qualification Requirements
Before being admitted to a master's program in the Department of Sociology, the applicant must meet the requirements for admission to the Toulouse Graduate School specified in the Admission section of this catalog. Applying is a two-part process. First, prospective applicants for a master's program must obtain and file an application for admission to the UNT Toulouse Graduate School. Second, applicants for a master's degree must also obtain and file a separate application for admission to the Department of Sociology.
For unconditional admission to the master's program, the applicant must have completed a minimum of 18 hours of sociology, have a grade point average of 3.0 on the last 60 hours of courses for the bachelor's degree and a GPA of 3.0 on all sociology courses.
The applicant who does not meet some of these requirements may be considered for conditional admission provided substantial alternative evidence of ability to do graduate work is submitted to the program's graduate admissions committee. For conditional admission, the applicant must have a grade point average of 2.8 on the last 60 hours of courses for the bachelor's degree (or a GPA of 2.8 on all undergraduate work), and a GPA of 2.8 on all sociology courses. Additional course work may be required when the applicant has fewer than the 18 hours of sociology (or their equivalent) required for unconditional admission. The committee may also request additional evidence of the applicant's ability to do graduate work.
The graduate admissions committee of the program is responsible for recommending acceptance or denial of applicants to graduate programs in sociology. Applicants are expected to submit all pertinent materials well in advance of the anticipated date of entering the Graduate School.
