Welcome to our Masters of Science Program in Sociology. Our program features an applied approach to sociology, aimed at understanding key social issues. Our areas of concentration include criminal justice, gender and family, social inequality, deviance, and social institutions—all highly topical areas in today’s challenging world.

We furthermore require all students to excel in rigorous courses in research methods and social theory. Students are permitted to take upwards of six credits outside of sociology. However, we expect our students to be committed to the sociological imagination—learning how individual problems reflect larger social issues.

Some of our graduates go on to Ph.D. programs. Other students seek advancement in professional fields such as public service, or teaching at the community college level. Whatever your future plans may be, we hope that you find your understanding of the social world —and yourself—enriched through our program.

I hope these links will answer your questions about our program. If you would like further information, or would like to set up an appointment to meet with me, please feel free to contact our graduate coordinator, Dr. Jessica Kenty-Drane, at: kentydranej1@southernct.edu.
