Sociology PhD/ Women's Studies MA

The combined M.A Women’s Studies /PhD Sociology program is the outcome of longstanding cooperation and overlapping strengths between the Departments of Sociology and Women’s Studies.  It allows Sociology PhD students with interests in Gender Studies and Women’s Studies students with sociological interests to combine their work in these two programs.  This is facilitated by the number of joint and affiliated faculty shared between the two departments, as well as by graduate-level cross-listed coursework.  It is also facilitated by the willingness of both departments to allow requirements for one program to be included as a portion of the coursework for the other program.
