Virginia Tech’s Sociology graduate program offers ideal training for academic, applied, and research careers. The master’s program requires 24 graded credits and is both stimulating and rigorous, with faculty academic advisors that are open and supportive.
Master’s students will receive advanced methodological training, have opportunities to collaborate with faculty and other students on research projects, and explore a range of topics in and beyond the discipline.
Students who are granted funding through an assistantship program receive a 9-month assistantship, subsidized health insurance (88%), tuition remission, office space, and some travel support. Program alumni go on to PhD programs (many here at Virginia Tech), as well as applied research positions.
The core course series consists of theory, research methods, research design, and a foundations course on inequalities. Click here for a full list of the required coursework .
In addition, students take 9 credits of within-discipline electives as well as an academic writing course.
