Sociology,
PHD
The graduate program in Sociology is devoted to the training of research scholars and educators in this discipline. Students have a variety of career goals, ranging from academic research and teaching to research and administration in private or public agencies.
The Department offers two distinct programs of study in sociology. The Masters program provides students with advanced training in policy-oriented research skills with a regional emphasis on the Philadelphia metropolitan area. It is specially designed for those who already work in agencies where such skills are used and who wish to upgrade their qualifications. The doctoral program prepares students for research, teaching, and advanced work in applied settings. The program allows students some flexibility in developing additional specialties within the Department, in special cases incorporating studies in related disciplines.
