Sociology - MS

The MS program in Sociology provides a combination of environmental, demographic, organizational, political-economic, and historical orientations to major domestic and global issues. We place particular emphasis on three areas of specialization: Demography, Environment & Community, and Social Inequality (including race, ethnicity and gender). Students have the opportunity to merge foundational coursework in sociological theory and research methods with focused training in the selected specialty areas and apprenticeship roles in both basic and applied research projects. Sustained personal interaction between faculty and students is a hallmark and strength of the program. Students have the opportunity to take electives in any of the departmental specialty areas or outside the department.

The Sociology MS degree is available at the USU main campus in Logan. However, many courses are offered in online, web broadcast, and blended formats, such that students need not be resident in Logan to complete the degree.
