<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">Please see the enclosed flier with information on the sociology Ph.D. program at the University of South Florida (Tampa). This year, we are particularly encouraging
<u>international</u> students to apply to our 4 year program (all students are fully funded, we accept 5-8 students per year). Successful international applicants must have an MA degree in sociology and very strong English skills (excellent TOEFL scores).
I will likely be able to forgive a lower than expected verbal GRE score, but the GRE test (verbal and quantitative) must be taken in order to apply (it’s required by virtually all US universities). The GRE test is offered throughout Europe in many locations,
as far as I know. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">Our department has 21 permanent faculty, and many (if not most) of us use qualitative methods and interpretive approaches. Some special areas include: narratives, urban & global issues, race &
ethnicity, gender & sexuality, immigration, social movements, education and religion.
