The Sociology Department offers exceptional chances to collaborate with dedicated research scholars across key disciplines: family and life cycle studies, social stratification (examining race, class, and gender disparities), and health-related research. Our program fosters close mentorship between faculty and graduate students, both in academic settings and research initiatives. Students benefit from access to comprehensive datasets for independent or team-based research, top-tier training in survey methodology and statistical analysis, state-of-the-art computing resources, and partnerships with the Bureau of Sociological Research (BOSR) and Survey Research and Methods Program (SRAM). The department maintains a robust track record of securing federal research grants (including current funding from NIH, NSF, NIMH, and NIDA). Additionally, graduate students gain professional teaching preparation and hands-on instructional experience. This nurturing academic community empowers students to excel as both researchers and educators.
