MA in Sociology
The Master of Arts in Sociology program prepares students broadly in the basic skills used by a sociologist. Our goal is to provide advanced training beyond the undergraduate level for work as an applied social scientist outside of academic life, as in government administrative jobs or research departments or community programs.

Dual Degree Programs in Social Work and Education
The dual degree program in Social Work and Education was established at Boston University in 1988 in recognition of the fact that social workers and educators are deeply involved in addressing a range of educational and social issues.

BS in Sociology
The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Sociology program, part of the Department of Applied Social Sciences, develops strong analytic skills and a broad knowledge of human relations and social systems. The discipline provides useful tools for a variety of careers in law, business, social work, criminal justice, and policy impact analysis, among others.
