How much flexibility exists in the Ph.D. program?
The Ph.D. program is designed to allow for flexibility while maintaining academic rigor and scholarship. We have two core classes that all Ph.D. students must take (Soc 684 Social Inequality Pro-Seminar and Soc 695 Advanced Research Methods). Currently our Ph.D. program focuses on the sociology of health and social inequality. Within these foci, and with the guidance of their adviser, students are expected to tailor their class choices to meet personal goals.
