Programs for Race/Ethnicity, Education, and Military

[rync]

Hi All!

 

So I'm a little bit early (or late depending on your perspective) and will be applying to Ph.D. programs this fall with a gap year doing service with the government.

 

Other than that one year (that won't amount to much in helping my application necessarily), I will be coming straight out from undergrad with a social science major, but not in sociology. I know that there are a lot of non-sociology majors that end up in sociology graduate programs, but because I'm not too familiar with sociology and how they're treated at different schools, I thought I'd bounce off my interests on the forum to look at which schools are reputable in these subareas.

 

My primary interests are: Asian-Americans (specifically in regards to higher education), the sociology of higher education (I've done a lot of Karabel reading so this is in my top choices), and the sociology of the military (Especially service in the reserves).

 

If anyone could share programs that might be good choices based on the first two primarily, or even the third, that'd be appreciated. Also, schools that are a no-no would also be appreciated!

 

Thanks

The University of Maryland is one of the few programs in the country that does sociology of the military, so I'd definitely take a look there.

The alternative would be to look at the military as a type of organization, and look for places which are good in org theory (and hopefully have someone who does state institutions type stuff or other political sociology).
