国际学生入学条件
Students with a BA/BS, may enter the PhD. program, but they will have to complete their master's degree on the way to the PhD.
Students with a master's degree from a discipline other than sociology will need to complete the following sociology core graduate courses in their first year (Soc 590, Soc 591, Soc 592, Soc 593). Similar courses taken in other disciplines may be transferred. Transfer credits will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
How to apply: To apply to the Sociology Graduate Program, please visit the Office of Graduate Studies Application Portal.
Required Application Materials:
Transcripts. You must upload transcripts to the application site. These transcripts can be unofficial until the review process is completed. The university will need official transcripts if the department gives you their recommendation for admission.
Three letters of recommendation. We require three letters of recommendation from individuals who are familiar with your scholarly work. These individuals are usually professors from a class you have previously taken. The application site manages these recommendations and your recommenders submit their reviews online by uploading their letters directly.
Statement of Purpose. You will be asked to upload a statement of purpose which will contain your scholarly agenda, your plans for the degree you are seeking, and names of faculty in the Sociology Department you plan on working with, if admitted. The statement of purpose is usually no more than two pages long.
Sample of Scholarly Writing. We ask you to upload a sample of your scholarly writing. This should not be more than 50 pages, but can be the length of a research paper, usually 10-30 pages. An example is usually a paper written for a course for which you have received a high mark/score/grade. Individuals with a Master's degree sometimes choose to upload a small portion of their theses as a sample.
CV/Resume. The department requires you to upload an academic resume, or curriculum vitae.
Admission eligibility is based on receipt of a baccalaureate degree equivalent to a United States four-year bachelor's degree from a college or university recognized as an institution of higher education by the Ministry of Education in the relevant country or be regionally accredited within the U.S. prior to matriculating into a graduate program.
To be considered for regular admission, applicants must have a minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 2.75 or the equivalent (on the U.S. 4.0 scale). Applicants who have earned 9 or more letter-graded graduate credits must have a minimum graduate GPA of 3.0 or the equivalent, this graduate GPA supersedes the undergraduate GPA.

课程简介
Portland State's Department of Sociology currently offers a M.A. and M.S. in Sociology. We also offer a Doctoral program in Sociology. Graduate training in Sociology prioritizes community engagement and policy-relevant research focused on improving people's daily lives and society more broadly. Students focus on the integration of theory with a variety of quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches to study the dynamics of human behavior and social interaction in substantive areas including health and medical sociology, environmental sociology, education, criminology, class/stratification, race/ethnicity, urban sociology, social movements, family, gender, and sexualities. The program aims to prepare graduates for research and service positions in government, the non-profit sector, private industry, and the academy.
