Hello,

I am a second year student at U of W, and I was wondering which is better to do, a Masters in Psychology, or a Master in Sociology? I like both topics very much, but which is a more practical degree that will hopefully take me to a more demanding and active field?
Thanks so much.

Can you combine either one with Public Administration or Organizational Behavior or some master's that's "practical" in the business world? I have a master's in psych which leads me into all sorts of fields (ended up using it in a library setting) and as an independent contractor/coach.

Either one, psych (the individual) or soc (the group), has value in its own way and has innumerable uses/applications.

Oh most definitely, I am thinking of combining my 2 strongest areas of interest. I deeply love Social Psychology, as well as Community/Developmental. I just need to check what I am better at, get my Masters, and I am thinking of doing a Minor in Sociology as well, to still have the door open for myself.

As many communities grow, they're having to reinvent themselves from rural to residential/commercial or as empty-nesters and even young people move from the sleepy suburbs back into the lively cities.

I suspect you won't go wrong, no matter how you combine your interests and degrees.
