Graduate Program

Kansas State University's sociology graduate program offers both a Master of Arts and a Doctor of Philosophy. Students receive high-quality graduate training as they seek to become teachers and scholars in the field of sociology, or applied researchers for government or private industry.

K-State awarded its first master's degrees in sociology in 1961 to three international students, and the doctoral program awarded its first two degrees in 1978. The sociology graduate program has continued evolving for 50-plus years, and we continue looking forward to the future and developing talented, passionate scholars.
