Graduate Seminars

Graduate seminars in sociology are built around the in-depth study of particular research questions, methodologies, or sociological subfields. The array of seminars provides students with the opportunity to develop a broad background in sociology. Five carefully-selected seminars are offered every term. The two courses are required for the MA degree: Social Theory, which is offered in alternate Springs, and Research Methods and Design, which is offered every Fall.
