BA/MA in Sociology

The combined Bachelor of Arts/Master of Arts in Sociology is ideal for undergraduate students who would like to continue on to graduate education in sociology on an accelerated timeline. BA/MA students complete nine graduate credits as part of their undergraduate studies, which count toward both degrees.

Students in the BA/MA in Sociology program must earn a B or better in all graduate courses and complete the required graduate thesis.

 

Application Requirements

  • Prepare and submit all required materials to the department director of graduate studies (not CCAS Graduate Studies). Note: Combined degree applicants are not required to submit GRE scores.

Students will be informed of acceptance into the program in late spring of their junior year.
