The
Department of Sociology at Queens College offers an intensive Master of Arts
program in Applied Social Research. Designed specifically for the New York
metropolitan area job market, it emphasizes the skills and concepts of
sociology and social research that can be used in a variety of settings.
The
program has proven useful to established professionals as well as to those
seeking a career change or an entry-level position in fields requiring skill
in such areas as market research and public-opinion polling, as well as
institutional, evaluation, survey, media, and advertising research. Because
the program draws upon the rich liberal arts and sciences tradition at Queens
College, it also has served as the first step for people seeking doctorates.
Students have transferred to major Ph.D. programs, where they have been given
full credit for their work.
The MA program
is designed to be completed on a full-time or part-time basis in the
evenings. Full-time students (i.e. those who take four courses per semester,
four evenings per week) can finish the program in two semesters plus
independent work during the summer. Part-time students who take at least two
courses per semester can complete the program in two calendar years. Upon
successful completion of the course of study, students will receive an M.A.
in Sociology with a concentration in Applied Social Research.
