Sociology PhD

The Department of Sociology conducts innovative research, while also remaining committed to teaching and mentoring students. Students in the graduate program gain an in-depth understanding in the department's areas of expertise (family and the life course; law and social policy; social inequalities; urban and community; work, occupations and institutions) while also benefiting from close, collaborative relationships with faculty. This unique combination of academic rigor and faculty mentoring prepares students to be first-rate researchers.
