Thank you for your interest in the Master of Arts Program in the Department of Sociology at Western Kentucky University.

We are very happy that you have taken the time to visit our website. We hope that you will find the information here useful and informative.

Our graduate program offers a small and personalized learning environment that will provide you with the opportunity to work closely with faculty mentors who will take an active interest in your educational goals and research.

Prospective students may use the links above to learn more about the application process, to read an overview of our graduate program, to learn about the curriculum, and to view a listing of our faculty and their areas of concentration. You may also find the link entitled “Application Process” helpful as it provides an overview of the application process for Graduate Programs in Sociology, not specifically our MA Program.

If you wish to apply to our graduate program, you may download and submit the Graduate School Application (Form A), or you may apply on-line through the Office of Graduate Studies website.

Current students in our MA program may also find the information on this site useful. We have posted all of the forms and paperwork that you are required to submit as you progress toward your graduation date, and we have posted a “roadmap” to graduation, which will (hopefully) help you in completing all of the requirements for our department and the Office of Graduate Studies.

Of course, if you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me using any of the methods listed above.

Once again, thank you for your interest in our graduate program. I look forward to hearing from you.

You will be advised by the University as to whether it considers you to be a UK/EU or international student for tuition fee purposes. A decision will be taken on the basis of the details which you have provided on your application form together with any supplementary information you may have supplied.
Current Definition of UK/EU fee student

In accordance with the Education (Fees and Awards) Regulations 1983, a student who meets the following criteria is entitled to be charged UK/EU tuition fees:

(a) has been ordinarily resident in the UK or EU throughout the three-year period preceding 1 September, 1 January or 1 April closest to the beginning of the first term of their course;

AND

Some students, who may not meet all the criteria above, are still entitled to be charged UK/EU tuition fees. These include:

(a) an EU national (or son or daughter of an EU national) who has been ordinarily resident in the EEA throughout the three year period immediately preceding the start of his/her course.

(b) a student who does not meet the three year residence conditions solely because they, their spouse or parents are temporarily employed outside the UK/EU/EEA.

c) some limited categories of recently arrived immigrants

The University’s primary concern when considering an application is that you can demonstrate potential to succeed on your chosen course.

In making our decision we will be looking at your personal statement and your references, as well as your academic qualifications (achieved or pending) and relevant work experience (paid or unpaid) and/or other learning achievements.

For some courses, we may make a decision based solely on your application form. In other cases we may call you for interview, to sit a test or to submit a portfolio. Where this is the case you will receive further details of what is involved.

To help you apply for the most appropriate level of course we have outlined below the University’s standard minimum entry requirement. Each course entry gives further information about the entry requirements — see the individual course entries.

View more information on English language qualifications.
Entry requirements for mature students

Lack of formal qualifications need not be a barrier to study. Relevant practical or personal experience, evidence of enthusiasm and commitment, and the ability to benefit from higher education are valuable assets, which we can take into account. You should fill out your application as fully as possible, including any voluntary experience, as well as paid work and any formal training.

Many courses require an essential body of knowledge or familiarity with the subject. Access courses, preparatory courses and extended degrees have been devised to provide this knowledge, as well as study skills. They provide a route to higher education for mature students or younger students who require preparation additional to their existing qualifications.
Gaining exemptions from part of your course

If you have already gained credits from a degree course, HND/C or the equivalent UK or overseas qualifications, you may be able to apply for exemption from part of a course and/or enter directly onto level 2 or 3. Exemptions will depend on the level and subjects you have previously studied. See below for more information.
Credit for previous learning

We encourage mature students to claim credit for previous learning. This learning may have been gained in other higher education institutions or through paid or voluntary work. This is known as Accreditation of Prior Learning or Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning, collectively known as AP(E)L.

To make a successful claim for AP(E)L, the learning you have achieved must be at the same level as the learning you would be expected to achieve as part of your course of study at London Metropolitan University. It need not solely be in the same subject area, as many courses include optional modules, which allow study in subject areas across the University.

If you have undertaken a recognised course at higher education level, the process of gaining credit is usually quite straightforward. You apply for credit
on your application form, or by using a standard University credit transfer form, which is sent to you if further details are required. Please note that you
will be asked to provide transcripts before we consider your application.
In order to consider your application, a formal assessment of your learning is required. This usually involves the completion of written work. As this process usually requires some guidance, you generally complete the assessment once you have enrolled at the University

While we have you here, let us tell you more about Spring Arbor University:

The admissions process is highly selective, and successful candidates typically have high academic credentials or promise. Accepted first-year students matriculate only in the fall term to begin a program leading to the juris doctor degree.

Character and Fitness to Practice Law

Law school graduates must become admitted to the bar of a state or territory in order to practice law there. All jurisdictions have standards of character and fitness that candidates are required to meet in order to become admitted to the bar. Applicants therefore should consult the websites of the bar examiners of the jurisdictions in which they wish to become admitted - see http://www.ncbex.org/bar-admissions/offices/ for bar examiners’ contact information and links to bar examiners’ websites - and should also try to consult with an official of the bar if necessary to discover whether any past conduct could keep them from becoming admitted to the bar upon graduation from law school. (Please be aware, however, that the bar examiners of some jurisdictions, such as New Jersey, refuse to discuss these matters with prospective or current law students or to give “advisory opinions”.)

The application form of Rutgers School of Law - Camden requests detailed information relevant to certification to a state bar. Applicants are required to disclose fairly and completely on the application any information that may in any way reflect on character and fitness to practice law. The bar examiners in every state require law schools to provide them with an assessment of the student’s character and fitness for the practice of law. This requirement typically includes information provided by the student on the student’s application, including criminal proceedings or other disciplinary actions, whether in the past or ongoing. Please note that failure of applicants to disclose all relevant information on the law school application can result in the offer of admission being revoked prospectively or retroactively, separation from the law school after matriculation, as well as other disciplinary action.

Northern State University welcomes applications from all who meet its requirements. Admission may be granted for either the academic year or summer sessions. All students seeking admission for enrollment in on-campus classes must complete the Undergraduate Admission Application form and submit the related documents before admission can be determined. For details, see the Application Process.
