The graduate program in sociology at Kansas State University offers work leading to the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. The primary objective of the program is to provide the highest quality graduate training possible for students seeking to become teachers and scholars in the field of sociology, or those seeking to enter careers in applied research in government or private industry. The program offers a small student/faculty ratio. Graduate students have a high level of contact with faculty and are provided with the opportunity to participate in supervised research. The program has an excellent record in placing its Ph.D. graduates in teaching positions.
The Master's program offers three degree options and provides flexibility in designing a curriculum to meet a student's needs. The thesis option is designed primarily for students continuing on for a Ph.D. in sociology, or seeking a career in sociology. The non-thesis option is designed to provide general sociological knowledge for students seeking careers in government, business, or non-profit organizations. The Master's in Social Analysis option is designed to provide advanced research and analytical skills for students already employed, or those seeking careers in government, business, or non-profit organizations.
The Ph.D. program offers specialized training in six areas: International and Regional Development, Rural Development, The Sociology of Work and Labor Markets, The Sociology of Gender, Criminology, and Politics, States and Social Movements. All students take core courses in sociological theory and research methods. Graduates will be prepared for academic careers in teaching and research and careers in applied social research.
