Admission Requirements
In order to apply for admission to the graduate
program in sociology, you must apply for
admission to the Graduate School at Washington
State University. In addition to the materials
required by the Graduate School, the department
also requires GRE scores, 3 letters of
recommendation, a writing sample, and a brief
statement of your professional interests and
goals, all of which are also to be submitted to
the Graduate School.
Program Description
The department supports a wide range of student
interests, and provides a foundation in theory,
methods, and statistics. We offer six general
areas of research specialization:
- crime and deviance, social control and
social justice (criminal justice system, micro
and macro studies of criminality and
delinquency, social norms);
- environment, technology and community,
(risk, rural and urban communities, global
environmental impacts, environmental justice);
- work, organizations, and labor markets
(work and family, social networks, labor market
inequality, transition to work);
- comparative political and social change
(social movements, global political economy,
the state);
- social inequality (gender, race/ethnicity,
class);
- and families, population, and life course
(union formation, transition to parenthood,
transition to adulthood, identity).
Substantial faculty interests also exist in
other areas of the discipline. We encourage
students to nurture broad intellectual
sensibilities. The department maintains
seminars and colloquia that expose students to
a full range of research and debate.
