Overview

About the program

These advanced education degrees are intended for people interested in careers in academia, public service or private enterprise. The Sociology department at the University of Delaware has a large number of full-time distinguished faculty from the disciplines of sociology, philosophy, law, political science, criminology, history and criminal justice.

This allows students to work closely with faculty members while preserving a reasonable breadth of interests. Thus, while both the sociology and criminology degrees rely on strong theoretical and methodological foundations, they also allow students to tailor a program that meets their individual needs.
