Master of Arts in Sociology with Concentration in Criminology
Program Overview
The Department of Sociology offers a master’s degree in sociology with a focus on social justice intended for students planning to pursue a doctorate or law degree and for those wishing to apply sociology to a variety of professional fields. Students entering the program must take graduate courses and write a thesis related to one of our four core fields: criminology, critical race & ethnic studies, environmental sociology, or political economy & globalization. The program is focused on critical inquiry that examines social phenomenon through a lens of power. Upon successful completion of this program, students should have an understanding of important theoretical concepts and methodological approaches to the study of sociology.
Criminology Concentration
The criminology specialization promotes critical understandings of the relationship between social forces and definitions of crime, criminal behavior, and the institutions and dynamics of social control. Students are taught to apply sociological theories to research on crime and criminal justice. Students are also provided tools for the preservation of peace and the safeguarding of due process and civil rights. This concentration prepares students for doctoral study or the study of law and for professional opportunities in civil rights. Please note that our criminology focus is not appropriate for those planning to pursue a degree in law enforcement.
