How to Apply
The application for application fee waivers closed on November 15th, 2025. Check back in fall 2026 to request an application fee waiver for that admission cycle.
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.
