Sociology, M.a. in University of North Carolina at Charlotte

The Master of Arts in Sociology provides students with theoretical and methodological skills necessary to undertake analysis of contemporary social issues and problems. The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of students seeking master’s level research skills for occupations requiring such expertise: in government, marketing, program planning and evaluation, business, the media, and in the nonprofit sector. The curriculum also prepares students who wish to pursue the Ph.D., whether in sociology or a related discipline. The Department of Sociology is a core part of the Ph.D. programs in Public Policy and Organizational Science at UNC Charlotte.

Coursework concentrates on building skills in research design, sampling, data analysis, interpretation and sociological theory.  Students complete either a thesis, with oral defense, or a research practicum.  Either option entails the student applying sociological knowledge to a problem/topic of his/her interest.  In addition to traditional classroom courses, students can tailor their coursework to specific areas of interest through individualized tutorials.  A variety of research interests are represented among the Sociology faculty.  Among these are Education, Healthcare, Group Processes (Social Psychology), Social Movements, Stratification, Organizations, and Mathematical Sociology.  Through coursework and tutorials students can gain a substantive knowledge base that complements their social research skills.

An optional Concentration in Applied Social Research is available.  It is designed for students who want to further develop their skills for applied social research.  It is an ideal option for students who are interested in using their sociological training to analyze social issues and to solve practical problems. This concentration can be completed in one year of study.
