Master of Arts - Sociology

The Department of Sociology offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. 

Four MA programs are available: (1) a course-based MA; (2) a thesis-based MA; (3) a course-based MA in criminal justice; and (4) a thesis-based MA in population and life course dynamics.

The time required to complete an MA program will vary according to the previous education of the applicant and the nature of the research undertaken.
