Program Overview

Program Description:

The Department of Sociology at the University of Missouri - Columbia is a diverse department brought together by a common focus on a broad sociological perspective. Compared to most other graduate programs, we are less specialized and less dogmatic with reference to theoretical orientation, methodological preferences, and substantive interests. Indeed, we pride ourselves on our willingness to engage critically and comparatively a broad range of substantive issues applying many different perspectives. The common theme which unites this diverse work is our shared concern with the central theoretical and methodological issues of the discipline. Regardless of the substantive area, theoretical perspective, or methodological approach, we expect faculty and graduate students to engage the central issues that have been historical concerns of sociological work and to bring to bear a critical and reflective perspective.
