课程简介
The graduate program at the University of Connecticut is a Ph.D. program where students attain a M.A. degree in the process of obtaining the Ph.D. We discourage students who are only interested in a M.A. degree in Sociology, rather, we seek students who are willing to make the commitment to the Ph.D. Most students enter with a B.A. and obtain the M.A. in Sociology in the first two years of the program, then proceed to the Ph.D. Students who are admitted with the M.A. in Sociology from another institution will typically finish the Ph.D. program in a shorter time. However, for students who have completed a Sociology MA degree elsewhere that did not require a thesis, the student must repeat the MA in order to complete a thesis and move on to the Ph.D. Any comparable courses taken will be waived but the student would need to finish 37 additional credits for the MA.<br><br>Students entering with the M.A. from other universities may have to take some required coursework in order to cover equivalent material as students who attained their degrees at UConn. Students entering with graduate degrees in disciplines other than Sociology must fulfill the requirements of both the M.A. and Ph.D.<br><br>Ph.D. typically requires an additional four years to complete.
