In addition to the general requirements of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Sociology has the following requirements:

Submit scores on the verbal, quantitative, and analytical sections of the GRE.
Although a master's degree in sociology is not required, only students who have an accredited master's degree, in a closely related field, or who have nearly completed a master's degree, will be considered for the Ph.D. program. Applicants should have completed master's level coursework in research methods, statistics, and sociological theory. If they have not had these courses, they must complete them as additional courses prior to enrolling in Ph.D. courses in these areas.
(3) letters of recommendation from faculty personally acquainted with the applicant's academic achievements.
Submit a sample of their written scholarly work (e.g., their Master's thesis or term/research paper).
