sociology › graduate programs
This exciting and dynamic program is perfect for anyone looking for the opportunity to explore and develop their abilities to consider, analyze and contribute to sociological policy, program development, research or the management of social agencies. Our graduates are researchers, managers, instructors, policy analysts, and service providers in health care, social service and criminal justice agencies, and corporate departments throughout the area. Many have continued their advanced studies in PhD programs, as well. Our accelerated, 5-year BA-to-MA program offers qualified UMass Boston undergraduates the chance to complete master’s level study in a more timely way than otherwise possible. We also offer a Graduate Certificate in Forensic Services.   poster
