The Doctorate Sociology Program at Rice

Posted by Admin On 11:11:00 AM

The Sociology Department at Rice is now in the fourth year of our new doctoral program. With the help of a generous gift from a Houston-based foundation, we have crafted an exciting, well-funded program that offers specialization in five broad substantive areas:

*Race and Ethnicity 

*Population Health 
*Culture and Religion 
*Urban and Community 
*Gender

We are a vigorous, diverse, productive, and collaborative research department, also known for excellent mentoring. With an average of $250,000 per faculty member in grant funding in the last three years, our active research agendas provide abundant opportunities for graduate students, in an apprenticeship model that involves students working with professors on research immediately and continually. We are also committed to ensuring that students acquire mastery of both quantitative and qualitative research methods. This is an intentionally small program, with entering cohorts of 4-5 students, all of whom receive full and generous funding for five years.

Our current graduate students are the recipients of many prestigious external and internal fellowships, are actively presenting at national conferences, and are publishing with our faculty.

Rice offers several resources that will provide graduate students with exciting research opportunities: The Kinder Institute for Urban Research houses research programs in Race, Ethnicity, & Culture; Urban Health; and the Houston Education Research Consortium which is an unique research collaboration with our Houston Independent School District. The Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance supports international and domestic research on religion. The Hobby Center for the Study of Texas generates analyses of key social and public policy issues, and our Postdoctoral Fellows Program, currently nine postdocs strong, provides graduate students additional collaborative and mentoring opportunities.

For more detailed information, please visit us at: http://sociology.rice.edu. And of course, we would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Our program emphasizes intensive mentoring from faculty; strong mixed-methods training; and research experience from day one.
