Programme Structure
Curriculum:- Our PhD program is a four-year, research-intensive program. It is highly interdisciplinary by design, with students completing several courses in one of four disciplines: Sociology, psychology, education or public health.
- By taking courses in other departments, our graduates are able to see social problems through multiple lenses. We think our focus on interdisciplinary study is attractive to prospective employers, allowing our graduates to form broader professional networks and to produce novel scholarship to tackle social problems.
