Program Overview

Acadia's Master of Sociology faculty have a wide variety of research interests to support you in your studies. You will explore new theories and methods of inquiry in our highly collaborative graduate sociology program and apply these skills toward research that uncovers new understandings of the societies in which we live. Your primary focus in this program will be on the planning and execution of your chosen research project culminating in the defence of your MA thesis, while course components will emphasize a deeper exposure to social theory, qualitative and quantitative theory, and a wider breadth of topics in sociology. *Studies can be qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods or theory-focused.
