Welcome to Florida State University's Sociology Graduate Program. We invite you to examine our description of programs, requirements, and procedures. The faculty is recognized by the National Academy of Sciences as among the best in the nation.
Many faculty members hold leadership positions in national and international organizations.
FSU faculty publish their research in articles and books on a regular basis and five hold university-wide awards for teaching excellence. All of us enjoy working with graduate students. Sociology at Florida State University offers graduate degree programs leading to the master of arts, master of science, and the doctor of philosophy degrees. The primary goal of graduate study in our department is to produce scholars with sufficient breadth and depth to permit independent and significant research. Although we emphasize preparation for research, students are prepared also for teaching and positions in business and government.
