Master's in Demographics and Social Analysis (DASA) - UC Irvine School of Social Sciences
Demography is the scientific study of human population. Because personal behavior "scales up" into population trends, and population trends "scale down" to impact individuals, demography touches all facets of life. This makes demography a versatile tool for analyzing a broad range of social and economic issues. Irvine's Concentration in Demographic and Social Analysis (DASA) offers graduate training in the practical research skills needed to address analytical problems confronting society, business, government, and the nonprofit sector.
We are competitive with placements because we offer strong methodological training, as well as the opportunity for students to see a research project from start to finish under the guidance of a faculty advisor. PhD programs realize that our students come in well-prepared, understanding the research process, and able to jump right into their program.
