Graduate Schools for Social Sciences

Social science master’s programs typically appeal to students eager to explore their interest in the study of how individuals, communities, and society interact. For example, the fields of anthropology, archaeology, history, sociology, and linguistics are all considered social sciences. Social science master’s programs can prepare graduates to work as economists, political scientists, research analysts, geographers, market researchers, educators, and policy makers, among other professions. In many cases, professionals in those roles earn higher-than-average salaries. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, for instance, the median annual pay for sociologists in 2023 exceeded $100,000.
