专业概况

在这里学什么？

The graduate program in Sociology offers advanced education for students who intend to pursue academic careers in sociology or who aspire to nonacademic research positions.

The M.A. and Ph.D. programs provide training in general social theory, research methodology, statistics, and a number of traditional and developing substantive specialties. In consultation with faculty advisers, students select two specialties that are among the department's strengths, such as demography (including health and immigration); family, life course, and aging; criminology; stratification and inequality; sociology of education; urban and community studies; or quantitative methods.

Alternate specialty areas not listed above may be selected as the major or the minor, with the approval of the Graduate Director and the student's dissertation committee. Students may elect to pursue a dual-title M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology and Demography, or a dual-title Ph.D. in Sociology and Social Data Analytics. A separate Ph.D. program in Criminology is also housed within the department.

All students who intend to pursue doctoral work are expected to earn (or have earned) an M.A. degree in their normal progress to the Ph.D.

Course work outside the department is encouraged. Areas of study related to sociology, such as rural sociology, geography, economics, business administration, statistics, cultural anthropology, political science, labor and employment relations, women's studies, social thought, biobehavioral health, and human development and family studies are available at the University.

Special department-related research and training facilities include on-site computer laboratories and the Social Science Research Center, the Population Research Institute, the Center for Research on Crime and Justice, and the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing. Additional University facilities used by sociology faculty and graduate students include the Computation Center (containing information about the extensive databases provided through the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research) and the Center on Healthy Aging.
