It is a doctoral level program only; UCSF does not have an undergraduate student population. The principal aim of the Doctoral Program in Sociology is to educate students interested in professional careers as sociologists in academic and/or applied contexts. The Doctoral Program in Sociology is one of the top graduate sociology programs in the U.S., ranked 6th-20th by the National Research Council in 2010. Additionally, UCSF ranks among the top (16th) global universities for social science and public health. UCSF is one of few institutions solely dedicated to the study of health both domestically and globally. See http://sociology.ucsf.edu for additional information. The Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences houses the Doctoral Program in Sociology, and is one of four departments in the School of Nursing. The Department also includes Doctoral and Master’s programs in nursing and health policy, whose aims are to educate students interested in academic careers in nursing with an emphasis on the study of health and public policies. While the successful candidate’s primary responsibility will be to the Doctoral Program in Sociology, they may also be asked to teach and advise in the health policy programs.
