Overview

Master of Arts in Sociology - Applied Social Research

The Master of Arts (MA) in Sociology – Applied Social Research degree will focus on the application of social theories and research methodologies that assist in understanding and addressing the social problems and challenges of northern and rural communities. 

The program at Nipissing University brings together faculty expertise in Sociology, Health and Populations Studies, Gerontology, Anthropology, Science and Environmental Studies, and Criminology and Criminal Justice. 

Active involvement in the community, government agency partners, a curriculum of research-intensive courses, and practicum placements will provide you with the theoretical foundations and quantitative and qualitative research skills to undertake applied research, evaluation and policy studies in government, not-for-profit and private organizations. 

There are three required courses that are the foundation of the degree and include SOCI 5106 Advanced Sociological Theory, SOCI 5216 Research Design, and either SOCI 5217 Quantitative Analysis or SOCI 5417 Qualitative Analysis. 

You will be well prepared for more advanced studies in Sociology, Anthropology and Criminology at the doctoral level.​​​​​​
