Overview
Our Sociology graduate program at University of Washington has a long and distinguished tradition of producing leading scholars and teachers who make important contributions to the discipline of sociology and to our collective understanding of social processes.
Features
Our graduate training emphasizes:
- Understanding and critically evaluating social theory and empirical research
- Conducting theoretically guided research that explores, assesses, and further develops explanatory theories
- Developing communication skills (with emphasis on scholarly writing and teaching) that transmit sociological knowledge.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- We admit students to a Ph.D. degree program, and do not offer a terminal M.A. degree. Students complete an MA degree before beginning Ph.D. level work.
- After successfully completing the MA degree, students advance to the Ph.D. portion of the graduate program. At the Ph.D. level, training is less structured and increasingly focused on dissertation research.
