Faculty Publications

 

Ranked 24th among all sociology departments nationally by the U.S. News and World Report’s annual rating system, our department has an internationally reputed faculty in the specialty areas of Comparative Sociology, Demography, Development, Gender, Work and Family, Military Sociology, Social Psychology, Stratification, and Theory.

 

Our close affiliation with several research centers such as the Maryland Population Research Center, Center for Research on Military Organization, Maryland Stress & Health Program, and Center for Innovation offers students and faculty excellent opportunities to collaborate.

 

With our combination of size, intellectual diversity, strong specialty areas, and the Washington area location, we believe that we provide an ideal setting to pursue the B.A. or the Ph.D. degrees in Sociology.
