专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Department of Sociology at Virginia Tech is a premier, research-oriented program, with 34 full-time faculty members and 5 affiliated faculty. The common anchor that connects much of the research we do is a focus on the causes, consequences, and interactions of social inequalities in a variety of subfields, including gender, race, class, sexualities, criminology, health, aging, education, the environment, and the global political economy. A solid grounding in sociological theory and methods constitute the core of our graduate programs, and students may also specialize and/or take courses in our interdisciplinary programs in Africana Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, and American Indian Studies. In addition, we support the research of action-oriented scholars who connect with communities in need and provide research that can help address social problems and influence public policy.

M.S. students must complete 24 hours of coursework, 6 hours of research, and write a thesis. All M.S. students must pass a final examination. The examination will be a defense of the thesis and an assessment of the student's understanding of appropriate sociological subjects. Specific course requirements, Requirements for the thesis, and procedures for the exam are discussed in the Graduate Catalog and the departmental Graduate Handbook.
