Master of Arts Sociology

An M.A. in sociology opens the recipient to many potential career paths. Some M.A. recipients go directly into teaching at the community college or high school level. Others enter the corporate, nonprofit and government worlds in areas such as directors of research, policy analysis, consulting, human resource management and program management. This credential would be an appropriate requirement to become an executive director in a social service agency. For outstanding students, the M.A. is preparation for doctoral level studies.
