Information for Prospective Students


The Department of Sociology at the University of Washington has a long history of providing excellent training for the next generation of sociologists.  As a result, we welcome applications for admission to our graduate program. We typically receive between 150 and 200 applications each year and enroll a diverse and highly qualified cohort of 12 to 18 new graduate students.  All admitted students enter our program with the intention to receive a Ph.D. degree.  Students who have not previously earned a MA degree in sociology or a closely related field complete a MA degree along the way.

The links below lead to more information about our program, and may assist you in deciding whether we are a good fit for your PhD interests.  Be sure to also check out the Graduate Admissions Information page, as it has additional links that are specifically geared to the potential applicant, as well as the application process and instructions.
