Program Overview

The Sociology Program at Washington State is designed to integrate research and teaching in the training of students. Students have the opportunity for involvement in collaborative and independent research activities, facilitated by faculty led seminars and research programs. In addition to offering yearly teaching workshops for students who teach their own courses, students participate in a teaching seminar in their second year. The goal of the Program, and focus of graduate curriculum, is to train highly competent sociologists who will make constructive contributions to the field of sociology in academic, research, governmental, and community settings.
