The School of Sociological and Anthropological Studies offers the following programs: Master of Arts (MA) and PhD in sociology; Master of Arts (MA) in anthropology. In addition, the School participates in the following collaborative programs: women's studies (master's level) and Canadian studies (doctoral level).
The MA in sociology is offered as a full-time and a part-time program, in French and in English. In English, the maximum number of annual admissions is fixed according to the procedure explained in the "Admission Requirements" section. In accordance with the University of Ottawa regulation, students may write their assignments, research papers, theses and examinations in either English or French.
Two options are available for the master's program: the MA with thesis and the MA with research paper, to which admissible students may add the co-op option. Students in both options are eligible for admission to the collaborative program in women's studies. For more information, see the section "Apply for Admission."
The PhD in sociology is offered as a full-time program only, in English and in French. However, both required seminars are offered in French exclusively. The doctoral program aims to train sociologists capable of conducting research on the social relations that define the conditions of existence and the transformations of contemporary societies, while using the most up-to-date theoretical and methodological tools. The program’s two main fields of research are minorities and culture, and political sociology. Students in the doctoral program are eligible for admission to the collaborative program in Canadian studies. For more information, see the section "Apply for Admission."
Professors in the School of Sociological and Anthropological Studies conduct research in a number of areas. For a more complete understanding of the breadth of research being undertaken at the School, students are encouraged to consult the list of professors and their areas of interest, which extend well beyond the fields of research mentioned above.
The programs are governed by the general regulations in effect for graduate studies.
For the most accurate and up to date information on application deadlines, language tests and other admission requirements, please visit the specific requirements webpage.
To be admitted to the PhD program, applicants must hold a master's degree in sociology (or equivalent) and have an overall average of at least 75% (B+), calculated in accordance with graduate studies guidelines. A student who has a master’s degree with the required average in a related discipline may be considered. He or she will be asked to take a number of additional master's courses. The number of extra courses required is determined by the Graduate Studies Committee, upon examination of each candidate's file.
Admission to the doctoral program also depends on the possibility of finding a supervisor and a committee specialized in the student’s field of interest.
In addition to transcripts and letters of recommendation, the application for admission to the doctoral program should include a letter that specifies:
- the proposed research area;
- the specific research topic for the doctoral thesis;
- the preferred supervisor;
- the candidate's language skills (English and French). The applicant must also include a sample of written work.
All students must be able to read and understand texts written in French and in English. Students must indicate in their application the language in which they plan to take the majority of their courses. The School of Sociological and Anthropological Studies reserves the right to require a language test for either language.

Note(s)
- 1
These courses are normally chosen among the graduate courses in sociology, but one of them may be from another discipline.
- 2
Initial enrollment in SOC 9910 occurs in the student’s third term. If a comprehensive exam is failed, it may be rewritten once. A second failure is regarded as final, and the candidate will be withdrawn from the program.
- 3
During the first term of the program, the supervisor should be determined. During the second term, two additional professors will join the Thesis Advisory Committee (TAC). It is expected that these professors are sociologists. This committee is responsible for approving the Comprehensive Exam. A fourth TAC member will join in anticipation of the dissertation proposal submission (in year 2). At least one member of the thesis committee, must NOT be from the School of Sociological and Anthropological Studies.
- 4
Successful completion of the comprehensive exam is a prerequisite for proceeding to SOC 9930. The thesis proposal must be approved by the thesis committee. A student whose proposal is not accepted on the first submission may be allowed to submit it a second time. A student whose proposal is rejected a second time will be withdrawn from the program.
Minimum Standards
The passing grade in all courses is C+. Students who fail two courses (equivalent to 6 units), the thesis proposal, or whose research progress is deemed unsatisfactory are withdrawn from the program.
Duration of the Program
The program is designed as a four-year program, and students are expected to complete it within four years. All requirements other than the thesis must be fulfilled by the end of the sixth term of enrollment. The maximum time permitted for completing the program is six years from the date of initial enrollment in the program, or seven years in the case of students fast-tracking from the master's to the PhD.
Thesis Advisory Committee
The thesis advisory committee (TAC) will be formed over the course of the first two years in the program, starting with the supervisor in the first term and two additional members in the second term (in anticipation of the Comprehensive examination). The Committee’s membership will be determined by the specific interests of the candidate. It will be composed of the supervisor and 3 additional professors. At least one member of the thesis committee, in addition to the supervisor, must be from the Faculty of Social Sciences. The TAC is responsible for providing guidance to the student throughout the program, including course selection, the comprehensive examination, thesis proposal and thesis defense. The thesis examining board will include a fifth member who is not from the University of Ottawa.
