MA Program Strengths

 

An Urban Environment - The MA program in Sociology at CU Denver benefits tremendously from its location in a state capital and one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the U.S.  This dynamic context provides a natural classroom for teaching specialties: Health & Society; Crime, Law & Deviance; and, Family, Social Services & Community.

 

Institutional Connections - The proximity and institutional connection to the top-rated University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (AMC) offer training opportunities as well, which are facilitated by engagement of departmental faculty with AMC medical researchers. In addition, strong integration of the faculty with the CU Denver campus community supports collaborative teaching and training efforts with faculty in the Departments of Geography, Anthropology, and Health & Behavioral Sciences.
