X close
Duration: 2 years
Course description:
The MA Sociology program was designed, first, to underscore, the relevance of sociology as a professional field, with emphasis on the sub-areas of social organization, social psychology and demography, and second, to complement the science-and-technology oriented curricula of the other academic units in UPLB. The main thrust of the program is to enhance understanding of the basic social processes especially those which are meant to bring about improvement in the quality of human life. The program seeks to combine: (a) the breadth of the liberal arts tradition and (b) the depth of specialization in the field of Sociology. There are two streams in the program: the quantitative and the qualitative stream. Opportunities Graduates of the MA Sociology program can expect work opportunities in all sectors —academe, industries, government organizations, and non-government organizations. Some of our graduates work as personnel officer at HRDO; others work at companies and industries with research and development projects. MA Sociology graduates are articulate and well-versed in the theoretical and applied aspects of development and change. Fast growing trends in technology give rise to unprecedented change in the social institutions of society. Sociologists with their training in both theoretical and applied aspects have the capacity to understand and explain social issues, trends and social concerns that can impact society in the domestic and global levels. Areas of specializations 1. Social Organization Provides a theoretical and analytical background for students to enable them to make critical analysis and evaluation of social organizations and their significance, structures and processes of power, theories and models of social and cultural change. 2. Social Psychology Gives students background in general social psychology, with emphasis on forms and processes of social influence, structure and measurement of attitudes and models of attitude change. 3. Demography Provides insights into complexities of population processes and relationships between processes and broader social context.

|
X close
Duration: 2 years
Course description:
Community Development is an applied social science, which hinges on the planned change approach with focus on social consciousness, community values, people and community empowerment for sustainable development. The loci of study are the community, the local government, and other local institutions. The program prepares individuals to take on the challenge of empowering local communities to develop effective strategies for identifying community goals and maximizing their assets to achieve these goals. It builds both practical and analytical skills to address these challenges. Blending theory and practice, the program enables students to better understand complex linkages between local action and the processes of policy making at various levels. Students learn to critically examine the complex roles and effectiveness of local institutions in community development. The course of study allows students to employ and critique traditional and emerging community strategies and tools. A core principle of the program is that graduates will become community developers who learn directly from community members about their needs, resources, and priorities and how best to mobilize local action to improve community people’s well-being and conditions. The program draws resources and experiences from diverse development programs. Opportunities Graduates of the program may become community development practitioners, consultants in government and nongovernmental developmental programs, researchers, local government administrators, development managers, and educators.
