Graduate Programs

Our graduate programs provide sociological training primarily for nontraditional, female, minority, and underprivileged students, though students from all backgrounds are welcomed. We offer a Master of Arts (MA) degree and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in sociology, along with Certificates in Diversity and Social Science Research Methods.

• Online and hybrid classes.
• Rigorous but accommodating curricula.

We prepare graduates for rewarding careers as professors in colleges and universities as well as researchers and practitioners for businesses, governments and nonprofit organizations.
