The Graduate Group in Sociology and Demography (GGSD) provides an interdisciplinary social sciences education tailored for students with diverse academic interests. Combining resources from Berkeley's Sociology and Demography Departments, the program delivers a challenging and enriching learning environment. This curriculum particularly focuses on the convergence between sociological and demographic studies. Research opportunities span various topics such as: historical population trends, social hierarchy, disparities, racial and ethnic studies, population dynamics, demographic shifts, human-environment relationships, economic progress, migration patterns, global interconnectedness, gender studies, family structures, childhood development, sexual health, age-related issues, healthcare systems, reproductive health, and contraceptive methods.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants admitted to a doctoral program that requires a master’s degree to be earned at Berkeley as a prerequisite (even though the applicant already has a master’s degree from another institution in the same or a closely allied field of study) will be permitted to undertake the second master’s degree, despite the overlap in field.
The following minimum requirements apply to all graduate programs and will be verified by the Graduate Division:
- A bachelor’s degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution;
- A grade point average of B or better (3.0);
- If the applicant comes from a country or political entity (e.g., Quebec) where English is not the official language, adequate proficiency in English to do graduate work, as evidenced by a TOEFL score of at least 90 on the iBT test, 570 on the paper-and-pencil test, or an IELTS Band score of at least 7 on a 9-point scale (note that individual programs may set higher levels for any of these); and
- Sufficient undergraduate training to do graduate work in the given field.
