The purpose of the Ph.D. program is to train students as scholars and specialists in the field of sociology. In addition to mastering a broad knowledge of sociology, Ph.D. students should acquire expertise in particular areas of research. In the first two years of the program, students are expected to complete the course requirements, develop a proposal for dissertation research, and to sit for the comprehensive examination. The last years of the program are devoted to original research by the student under the guidance of the supervisor and the Advisory Committee. Students who graduate from the program must develop an intellectual maturity that is demonstrated in the ability to conduct independent research that results in a defensible doctoral thesis that meets the approval of the Examining Committee. The Ph.D. should normally take three to four years to complete after an M.A. degree.
