The Department of Sociology welcomes applications to our graduate program. While we have highly selective admissions standards, we also always admit a diverse set of students whose research interests match with our faculty expertise. We admit approximately 10 new students each fall. This section provides basic information for prospective students including information about admissions, funding, and how you can set up a time to visit our campus. If you have additional questions we welcome you to contact faculty or our Director of Graduate Studies, Sharon Collins (scollins@uic.edu ) directly and/or set up appointments to meet with them in person.
