Yes. Many of our students have been accepted and gone on to study in PhD Sociology programs, such as Wayne State, Ohio State, UC Santa Barbara, Florida State, Penn State, University of Illinois, Georgia State University, University of Cincinnati, Portland State University, Syracuse University, and the University of Hawaii. We have also had students pursue non-sociology graduate degrees (e.g., Law School, Public Health).
“My time at IU Indianapolis provided me the skills and experience necessary to be a competitive applicant to PhD programs. The MA program developed my critical thinking and research abilities through coursework, my thesis, and experience as a research assistant. This helped me gain experience with virtually all aspects of the research process, including publication manuscript development. The courses, research experience, and relationships developed with faculty helped shape my dissertation and current research interests.” – Cameron McAlister, Sociology Ph.D Student, University of Kentucky.
