Master of Arts - Sociology

The Wichita State University Department of Sociology emphasizes a social justice perspective, and students develop insights about the effects of social structures on individual lives and communities. For example, faculty research focuses on issues such as teen dating violence, sexual minority well-being, gentrification, gender-affirming health care, educational policy, and caregiving in later life. Our programs prepares students for employment in a number of different fields. Our graduates work in a number of different research positions and non-profit agencies, and many have gone on to competitive Ph.D. programs across the nation.
