The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Central Florida offers a Graduate program leading to the Master of Arts Degree in Applied Sociology with an opportunity for concentrated studies in deviant behavior and community policy . A primary focus of the Program is the variety of deviant behavior forms in society with special attention given to the Central Florida area and the different community policies that have evolved to confront these problems. The Program includes a thesis and a non-thesis plan of study. A supervised practicum is available to help students combine their graduate work with a career interest. All classes are taught in the evening to accommodate a working student population.
Graduate study is a rewarding and challenging experience.
Although an exact timetable for graduation depends on outside commitments and responsibilities, the Graduate program is organized around a two year cycle for degree completion. Because graduate education demands a great deal of individual initiative, students should give their graduate work high priority and organize their resources toward graduation. As soon as possible, they should begin developing a schedule to complete their graduate work.
