The sociology department is excited to offer an accelerated Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Sociology. This program is designed to be completed in 5 years, with students leaving the program with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology or Criminology as well as a Master’s Degree in Sociology.
This track provides the same rigorous training in graduate level sociology/criminology, social scientific research methods, and producing publication quality sociological/criminological research as our terminal graduate Master’s Degree, but is designed to be completed co-currently with the final series of upper division undergraduate coursework. We believe this track provides our outstanding undergraduate students with a head start on their graduate careers as well as some of the job opportunities made available by completing an advanced social science research degree.
My name is Emily Reel and I’m currently pursuing the 4+1 Bachelor's and Master's degree in sociology. This program is perfect for people that have their sights set on an advanced degree and it has given me ample opportunities to interact and get mentorship from all of my sociology professors at OU! The world has opened up and I will leave OU with more knowledge and professional experience at a younger age than without the BA/MA program. It has increased my confidence in my post-grad life and I encourage everyone to look into the opportunity!
