The Sociology Graduate Program primarily focuses on doctoral studies, though it also offers a Master's track for those pursuing an MA alongside their PhD or exiting before completing doctoral requirements. The curriculum is structured around four specialized fields: Demography, Political Sociology, Social Psychology, and Social Inequality & Mobility. Approximately 50% of our PhD graduates secure academic positions at higher education institutions, while the remaining half enter research, administrative, or consulting roles within government agencies or private sector organizations. Being situated in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region provides exceptional research employment prospects for our alumni.
