The graduate faculty in sociology consists of scholars/teachers who have earned doctorates at some of the leading graduate schools in the country. The DOS offers three graduate program tracks: a terminal MA program; a Ph.D. program for students who have already earned a Masters degree; and a Bachelors to Ph.D. track for qualified students who want to earn their MA and Ph.D. in Sociology at UNLV in a single program. We offer ten areas of specialization: (1)Family, Aging & the Life Course; (2) Culture; (3)Deviance & Criminology; (4)Environment & Health; (5) Race & Ethnic Studies; (6)Gender & Sexuality; (7)Politics & Social Movements; (8)Social Psychology & Theory; (9)Community & Urban Studies; and (10) Demography & Population Studies. The M.A. program has been in place for many years and has graduated men and women who occupy professional, academic and administrative positions across the nation. The Ph.D. program, which began in 1989, has already graduated more than 37 scholars who hold positions in academia, the nonprofit sector, private industry and public service. Graduates from our Ph.D. program are trained in advanced theory and methods, and have well-developed expertise in at least two of our departmental areas of specialization. The Sociology department welcomes applications for MA and Ph.D. programs from candidates who can demonstrate a record of significant academic achievement and potential for professional success in sociology.
