Sociology (Bachelor of Arts) and Applied Social Research and Public Policy (Master of Arts), Dual-degree Program

Qualified undergraduate sociology majors  and minors  may choose to take a dual-degree B.A. in sociology/M.A. in applied social research and public policy. They must be conditionally accepted into the graduate program before being eligible to take up to four graduate-level courses (12 s.h.) from among ASR 201, 202, 203, 204 as part of the undergraduate program. These courses are credited to both the B.A. and the M.A.

Thus, students need to complete a total of 154 s.h.: 112 s.h. of undergraduate course work and 42 s.h. of graduate work. All other undergraduate requirements (distribution, composition, languages) remain the same as those for a B.A. with a major  or a minor  in sociology.
