After completing an undergraduate degree in Sociology in 2016, I went on to complete the Data Collection &amp; Management Graduate Certificate under the excellent instruction of Professor Donoghue and Professor Besen-Cassino. The research skills, methodological knowledge, and theoretical background I\u2019ve gained from both my undergraduate and graduate experience has given me the opportunity to partake in a variety of fascinating research projects post-graduation, including studying migration at the CUNY Graduate Center and Institutional research at Hunter College.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Sociology at Northeastern University, continuing to utilize the strong set of skills I\u2019ve gained. With the intensive thesis-focused degrees in Sociology offered, I have been able to continue pursuing and expanding on my research interests in transnational migration and globalization with confidence. I highly recommend those interested in pursuing a career in research or working with data to look more into the ever-growing Sociology department at Montclair State University. With the recent introduction of a research-oriented Master\u2019s degree, there will be a wide range of options open to graduates in both academic and non-academic jobs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sociology department at Montclair State University has prepared me well for a career in research.
