Introduction
Sociology is a desirable preparation for a growing number of careers. Our graduates have obtained positions such as research analyst, instructor, and human service worker.
The focus of graduate education in Sociology is directed toward both the development of applied sociologists and the advanced training of those seeking to pursue a doctoral degree. Students may elect to take courses in a specialty area, or they may pursue a background in general sociology. Areas of specialization include medical sociology/gerontology and community development.

Curriculum
Degree Requirements
Students must complete a minimum of 30 credits and a master's thesis for the thesis option, a minimum of 35 credits and a paper for the comprehensive study option.
The first year of the Sociology program is designed to expose students to the theory and both quantitative and qualitative research methods.
Two program options are available for students:
- In the thesis option, students work on a research-based thesis. Students typically test theoretical assumptions using primary or secondary data.
- The comprehensive study option is designed for students who wish to combine their studies with some type of specialized field experience. Students electing this option are required to complete a comprehensive study paper related to their internship, such as evaluating a program.
Students in the Sociology graduate program benefit from a favorable faculty-to-student ratio.
