The Graduate Program in the Department of Sociology at Queen's offers rigorous academic degree programs at the MA and PhD levels.  Our dedicated faculty members make every effort to provide comprehensive support to each and every graduate student. 

 

The Master's and Doctoral Programs in the Department of Sociology focuses primarily on the four areas of specialization: 

• Communication and Information Technology
• Feminist Sociology
• Socio-Legal Studies
• Critical Sociological Theory

I started my Ph.D. at another school. I felt like I was nothing but a number there. I got lost in the shuffle, so I transferred to Queen’s. It was like night and day. The department here is small and I had no trouble forming a committee. The supervisors are easy to talk to. It’s unbelievable in terms of support. It’s a very friendly environment, and when you’re not from Kingston, it’s nice to have that support.
