Graduate Program

Welcome to the OSU Department of Sociology’s graduate webpage! Over the last 5 years the Sociology Department has grown significantly by adding a number of new faculty members to complement our program’s senior scholars. We’ve also experienced positive developments in our graduate program – a newly established student computer lab; increased graduate funding; a revised graduate curriculum; and more graduate teaching opportunities, to name a few. In the coming year we’ll be moving to a newly renovated state-of-the-art office and classroom facility. We anticipate additional growth in the near future. So we enthusiastically invite interested applicants to check out our program! Our department offers both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees emphasizing the fundamentals of sociological inquiry (i.e., theory, methods, statistics), combined with a broad spectrum of specialty areas, such as Complex Organizations, Deviance and Criminology, Environmental Sociology, Social Inequality, and Social Psychology. We seek students interested in careers as professional sociologists, whether specializing in research and teaching, or in more applied settings. Many of our M.S. graduates continue to our Ph.D. program, while others choose applied careers in the public or private sector. Presently, our Ph.D. graduates serve as faculty at college and university campuses throughout the U.S. and abroad, or enjoy successful careers in applied fields. The
department’s faculty represent diverse
sociological specialties, theoretical approaches, and methodological
styles, all of which enhance the program’s balanced graduate
curriculum. We’re large enough to include expertise in several
substantive sub-areas of sociology, yet small enough to generate
intimate graduate seminars and primary relationships between faculty
members and graduate students. We emphasize and exemplify the threefold
scholarly standard of quality classroom teaching, research, and
extension. During the last ten years, our faculty have received
university teaching awards, extension teaching awards, and a state
excellence award. We’ve also continued to be active in research
and scholarship. In addition to publishing academic monographs,
and peer reviewed articles in a wide variety of scholarly journals,
various members have received national grants, international recognition
for publications, and served as editors or advisory board members
for national and international journals. Dr.
