Does anyone know which sociology graduate program has a course on structural equation modeling

As SEM is not widely used in sociology, many departments will direct students to  a course in another department, such as stats or psychology. However, I know that Kenneth Bollen at UNC Sociology wrote the book on SEM and teaches/advises SEM. In either case, it is unlikely that you will find yourself at a university where SEM is never taught, albeit infrequently.

I see. Perhaps a program specializing at quantitative methods may offer SEM.

If you're already interested in structural models as an undergraduate, you're going to end up taking metrics courses in the policy, stats, or economics departments even at a T5 university.  If you can get into the T10, you should probably just go because of the peer effects and faculty sponsorship.  If you can't land there, you should pick a program on topical fit, not the statistical sequences offered in the department, which will be insufficient for your research long run.

Any quant-heavy program will help you learn SEM and whatever other technique you may need to progress in the program and be able to do what you need to do. My program does not offer any SEM but are willing to send me to Duke or Michigan for summer school to learn it and then assistance with whatever issues I may encounter.

Florida State now offers SEM in the Sociology department. The pre-reqs are 3 Stats classes built into the program.
