Masters

The graduate program leading to the Sociology Master of Arts is focused primarily on issues of globalization and social justice. Through coursework, students gain a rich understanding of the general sociological perspective and specific command of critical, conflict-orientated sociology that stresses issues of globalization, social inequality, and social justice on a global scale. The economic, technological, political, cultural, and environmental dimensions of contemporary globalization are examined. Questions are raised about the uniqueness of the current era of globalization in relation to earlier periods and the changing profile of global inequalities. The critical analysis of the problems and prospects of movements for global justice forms the final component of the program. Students selecting this option have two choices, a research based thesis or an experiential research and learning project. In both cases, students must submit a written proposal, including a proposed bibliography, list of research questions, and methodology statement or description of experiential learning project. Both the proposal and the completed thesis or project must be approved by a committee of two faculty members.
