The common anchor that connects much of the research we do is a focus on the causes, consequences, and interactions of social inequalities in a variety of subfields, including gender, race, class, sexualities, criminology, health, aging, education, the environment, and the global political economy. A solid grounding in sociological theory and methods constitute the core of our graduate programs, and students may also specialize and/or take courses in our interdisciplinary programs in Africana Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, and American Indian Studies. In addition, we support the research of action-oriented scholars who connect with communities in need and provide research that can help address social problems and influence public policy. M.S. students must complete 24 hours of coursework, 6 hours of research, and write a thesis. All M.S. students must pass a final examination. The examination will be a defense of the thesis and an assessment of the student's understanding of appropriate sociological subjects.

The program offers a Ph.D. degree in several areas of concentration within the department: plant pathology, the study of diseases, plant pathogens and their management; plant physiology, the study of plant function, growth and development and response to environmental stresses; weed science, the study of weed biology, ecology and management; and molecular plant sciences, basic biology, biochemistry and genetics of plant and plant pathogen systems. At the master's level, PPWS students participate in the M.S. program in Life Sciences, which also allows flexibility among the different options. For the M.S., students apply to the MSLFS degree type and select PPWS as the program. Masters degree: PPWS offers the M.S. degree in any of the departmental concentrations. M.S. students meet the core requirements of the M.S. in the Life Sciences program and choose electives for the plan of study in consultation with a three-person advisory committee. The M.S. requires 30 credit hours, including at least 6 research credits for the thesis option; a non-thesis option is also available. M.S. students are required to present a research seminar and a final defense seminar and participate in one teaching activity.
