How to Apply
The Department of Sociology has limited funds to pay the application fee for students who lack resources and hold identities underrepresented in the field. If you feel that you meet these criteria, please fill out the Application for an Application Fee Grant form. Requests are due by November 15th.
The Department of Sociology admits students to the fall-start PhD program. We do not admit to a terminal master's degree nor for a spring start. Students in the PhD program may earn a master's degree on the way to their doctorate.
All admitted students receive full funding for five years. No additional application is required.
To apply to the PhD program, upload all materials to the online application. See the requirements & instructions tab for submission guidelines and ensure you follow instructions carefully. Refer to the admission standards and statistics tab for further information.
