About Master of Sociology

Overview Our Sociology program provides a basic foundation in the theories and methods of sociology, specialized graduate seminars in several subfields of sociology, and supportive guidance from a three-person committee while researching and writing an MA thesis. Our very international faculty and graduate students form a close-knit and supportive community centered on common research interests.The Plan A thesis MA degree is intended to be a terminal degree, but students who perform at a high level in the MA program and whose MA thesis demonstrates their ability to do doctoral level research and writing may petition to enter the doctoral program when they reach the end of the MA program. I want to find another Master Course We admit all students to the Plan A (thesis) MA. We can convert this to a Plan B (non-thesis) MA for two specific situations: students who enroll in the Population Studies MA program through the department; and students in the Plan A MA program whom the committee determines will be unable to complete an acceptable thesis within the time they have available for the degree program. While persons with an MA in sociology may be hired to teach sociology at the community college level or to serve as part-time lecturers at four year institutions, it should not be considered a sufficient, competitive credential for teaching at the college level. Most such positions now require the doctorate.Multicultural Global ExperienceCommitted to being the leading indigenous serving university in the country, University of Hawaii at Manoa proudly delivers a unique multicultural global experience in a Hawaiian place of learning, with a long history of adherence to the principles of sustainability and the essence of aloha—truly like nowhere else on earth.
