The Online Master of Arts in Sociology program prepares you through advanced training beyond the undergraduate level in sociology.
In today’s modern and complex world, people often find themselves making multiple career changes throughout life.

Our goal is to provide advanced training for work as applied social scientist outside of academia, as in government administrative jobs, research departments, or community programs. Some of our students also go on to teach at community colleges. The Department offers the 30-credit Online M.A. program in Sociology in a non-thesis format.
