SOSA requirements
Specific information for admission to SOSA grad programs
Our program is a full-time thesis based program.聽 We admit once a year; always in September.聽 Applicants should apply to our program by the聽January 15th deadline. Students who apply after January 15th may be considered for admission, but only if space is available.
Preference is given to applicants with degrees in Sociology or Anthropology with an average of A- or higher. Students with degrees in other disciplines may be considered if space is available, but they are generally required to do extra coursework to fill in any gaps in their backgrounds.
We encourage students to shape up something of a prospective research focus and project before reaching out to possible supervisors. With this in hand, you can reach out to a聽potential supervisor聽whose research area is in alignment with yours.聽
Please Note: Some external scholarships, like those granted by SSHRC, have deadlines earlier in the Fall. Check the聽Faculty of Graduate Studies website聽for scholarship information and deadlines. In addition, you will find detailed information about the FGS聽Harmonized Scholarship聽process here. 聽
