The Department of Sociology and Anthropology has offered a Master of Arts/Magisteriate of Arts degree in Sociology since 1972. The objectives of the program are to provide advanced studies in general sociology and in a wide variety of specialized fields of research for students planning to pursue a professional career in the discipline and students already engaged in occupations where such studies will be of value to their work. We emphasize pluralism in our approaches to theory and methods and encourage students to creatively and actively engage their sociological training in a wide variety of established and emerging fields. The graduate program in Sociology offers two options: a thesis option and an essay option.
