Increasingly demography or demographics has become recognized as a powerful tool in the arenas of social, business, and government
problem-solving and decision-making. Students interested in entering business, social policy, program evaluation, public administration,
and academics are aided by training in demographic approaches and techniques.
BGSU is unique because it provides students not only the technical expertise but also the theoretical tools they will need
to make sense of and interpret demographic data and trends. Unlike other graduate programs in Ohio, BGSU offers M.A. and Ph.D.
degrees with demography specializations as well as a master's degree in Applied Demography. In addition, undergraduate students
can concentrate their sociology degree in population studies. All Sociology students' training is enhanced by exposure to
demographic analytic approaches, participation in research projects, course work, and data access.
