Former graduates have said....

"The Sociology MA program at IUP is wonderful preparation for those who want to pursue professional careers in the discipline. Faculty are very supportive of your educational goals and will work with you on projects that suit your interests. Also, the program is flexible. You are not limited to sociology courses and you can even create your own area of study. I have found this kind of academic freedom and supportive environment unique to the sociology department"

Angie Beaman, 2001 MA Sociology graduate, currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Connecticut

"Returning to a formal education program at "mid-life" (as it is called), I found the MA Program in Sociology at IUP to be impressive, solid and stimulating. I will always be appreciative of the intellectual challenges, the mentoring by supportive faculty, and the countless opportunities for professional growth that were available. Furthermore, it was through this program that I was able to renew my career and love for teaching!"
