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.
