A message from the Director

The Graduate Program in Sociology is located in Bird House, one of the stops along VCU's Historic Buildings Tour. Today, it houses faculty with wide ranging interests and expertise, provides office space for Graduate Teaching Assistants, includes a graduate area , and is the site where graduate seminars are taught. The intimate setting and supportive environment enhance students' personal growth and intellectual development. A rigorous sequence of theory, statistics and research methods courses provides students with practical skills and abilities that are widely applicable. Substantive seminars, grouped around themes of globalization, the urban environment, social problems, and social change, prepare graduates to meet the challenges of the 21st century...


This website provides the most current and comprehensive information available on our Master's program. The departmental Graduate Student Handbook describes various degree options and course requirements and provides a flow chart for each option. Students interested in applied research will find information on recent applied projects useful. While these program resources are important, our 'human resources' are equally so. Please take the opportunity to visit our student pages. Find out about the activities, research interests, and thesis topics of our graduate students, past and present.  Additional information on our faculty and department is available on the Sociology Department Website.  

The site also provides links to information on the application process, in-state and out-of-state tuition rates, and student fees. Application forms for U.S. citizens and International students may be downloaded directly from the site.  For the most comprehensive source of  information on financial aid, tuition, university policies, and graduate student resources,  students are encouraged to visit the School of Graduate Studies [linked at right]. 

If  you have any questions about our graduate program or would like to arrange a visit to Bird House, please contact me for further information.
