Transcript:
Unofficial transcripts from all post-secondary education (including community colleges, summer sessions and extension programs) are required to be uploaded in the application. Study Abroad experiences that appear on your undergraduate institution transcript do not need to be listed separately on the application. You should obtain a copy of your unofficial transcript (obtained from a student account) as “official” transcripts do not scan well. Please do not mail paper transcripts as part of your admission application; we only accept unofficial uploads for application evaluation. If you are offered admission, one official transcript for each university attended will be required prior to the first day of the term. Instructions for how to submit official transcripts will be included in the admission offer letter.
Curriculum Vitae:
Resume (optional) – You may provide an optional resume that summarizes your education and professional experience.
Personal Statement:
Statement of Purpose – Please provide a statement of purpose that describes your reasons for seeking a PhD in Sociology at UNC, your major intellectual interests and career goals, the sort of research and scholarship you hope to pursue, and the most important aspects in your background that have prepared you for graduate study in Sociology. The statement should be not more than three pages long.
Recommendation Letter:
Three (3) letters of recommendation are required.
Financial Certification:
International applicants who are offered admission to a graduate program are required by United States federal regulations to certify that you have sufficient funds to pay for your expenses at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for the entire length of your studies. Every international applicant offered admission, including applicants who may receive teaching or research assistantships or other awards, must complete and upload the International Student Data Form and Financial Certification Instructions/Worksheet to their ConnectCarolina Student Center after being offered admission. The Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) will send you information and instructions for completing and uploading these forms in order to document that you meet necessary financial requirements. ISSS will then send you the appropriate documents to use in obtaining or updating your visa once it has been determined that you have met the necessary financial requirements.
Writing Sample:
Please provide a sample of your written work, preferably a substantial academic paper, research report or thesis in Sociology (or a related field) that shows your ability to construct arguments, evaluate evidence, and/or synthesize academic literature. If you do not have an academic paper to submit, you may submit another substantial piece of professional writing.
