Department of Sociology

Our M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in sociology have optional concentrations in Africana studies, women's and gender studies, giving you the opportunity to pursue the issues that mean the most to you. Our graduate students work with a large, interdisciplinary faculty who have expertise in sociology, anthropology, ethnic studies, English, history, foreign languages, and African Diaspora studies. We emphasize research and help students make the most of their time by encouraging experiential learning through our centers and interdisciplinary courses of study.
