M.A. in Schools, Society and Violence

Eastern Michigan University

The Sociology, Criminology, and Anthropology, and Teacher Education Departments offer this interdisciplinary master’s degree for students who want to pursue advanced studies in conflict, crime, and cooperation in the school context. Students will understand theoretical concepts, methodological techniques, and the application of substantive interdisciplinary knowledge, enabling them to analyze, understand and effectively intervene to reduce harmful relational and institutional practices in school settings. Essential dimensions of the program include a thesis or non-thesis requirement through which students demonstrate the ability to integrate and apply relevant knowledge to address a particular dimension of the problem of school violence.
