Program Description

The sociology program offers students the opportunity to think critically about society 
and learn how to conduct research to address social issues. The Department of Sociology at Texas State provides curriculum and training to help students meet the increasing demand for social scientists to address issues in a wide range of fields, including the environment, urban development, health, aging, and inequality. Our faculty work closely with our M.A. students to cultivate the expertise to excel in these fields as well as prepare them to potentially continue their studies in a Ph.D. program.
