Prospective Students Questions

No. Though a background in Social Sciences is desirable, a Social Science major, including Sociology, is not a condition for admission. Students with majors as diverse as Chemistry and the Fine Arts have graduated from the program. Research methods and statistics are useful classes to have taken, but not a requirement.

Yes. Students interested in the BA/MS program must have a background in sociology, as the degrees awarded are in Sociology and Applied Digital Sociology.

No. The sociology department is no longer requiring the GRE for admissions.

Currently, we only accept applications for fall admission. Applications are due March 15th for Early Decision and April 15th for Regular Decision.

Students in the BA/MS program will pay the undergraduate tuition rate for the first one hundred and twenty (120) credits. This is the same amount of credits as the regular B.A. degree in sociology. Students will pay the graduate tuition rate for the ten (10) additional credits needed to complete the master’s degree. Students in the B.A./M.S. program should enroll in the SOC 425 sections rather than the GSR 700 sections The courses are the same, but this distinction is necessary for tuition purposes.

Undergraduate students taking 18 or more credits per semester will be charged an Accelerated Study Fee.

You can find the cost of undergraduate and graduate tuition and fees here.

Yes. In some cases, applications have been filed too late; in others, students want to try out some coursework first before committing themselves to the Applied Digital Sociology Program. Credits earned as a non-matriculated student are counted towards the M.S. ADS Degree once you enter the program as a matriculated student. Feel free to contact the program office if you have more questions and arrange for an appointment with me before you file your application.

International applicants should refer here for more information. If you have any follow-up questions, please email assistantsociology@gmail.com.
