PHD Sociology

The Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology provides training in theory and research methods beyond the MA. The department at UC is a vibrant intellectual space, centered in the multiple research projects of our faculty members and students. We specialize in the study of social inequality, specifically in the areas of community and urban sociology, health and medicine, race and ethnicity, and gender and sexuality. We encourage prospective graduate students interested in these issues to join us! The department is committed to diversity, drawing students from around the U.S. and internationally, and has a reputation for a friendly, collegial atmosphere.
