To find relevant programs, you should look for Masters programs in:
* Sociology: Many top sociology departments in NYC (like at Columbia, NYU, CUNY Graduate Center) will have faculty specializing in work, organizations, and related areas. Look at their faculty research interests and course offerings to see if their focus aligns with your interest. You might be able to tailor your master's thesis or coursework to focus on the sociology of work organizations within a broader sociology program.
* Industrial-Organizational (I/O) Psychology: Programs in I/O psychology at schools like NYU and Columbia often address organizational behavior and the social dynamics of work. This approach might be more quantitative and applied than a sociology program.
* Management/Organizational Behavior: Some MBA or Masters in Management programs will have specializations or electives focusing on organizational sociology, organizational behavior, or human resource management which incorporates sociological perspectives. Schools like NYU Stern, Columbia Business School, and others would be good places to investigate.
To find specific programs:
1. Visit the websites of major NYC universities: Check the graduate programs listings at Columbia University, New York University (NYU), The New School, CUNY Graduate Center, Fordham University, and other relevant institutions. Search for keywords like "sociology," "organizational behavior," "industrial-organizational psychology," "work," and "organizations."
2. Use online graduate program search engines: Sites like Peterson's, US News & World Report, and others allow you to filter by location (NYC), degree type (Master's), and subject area (using keywords from above).
Remember to carefully review course descriptions and faculty profiles to ensure the program aligns with your specific interest in the sociology of work organizations. You might even contact faculty members directly to inquire about their research and potential opportunities within their programs.
