House Concentration Advisors
Concentration Advisors are Sociology PhD students assigned to the Houses as either a resident or non-resident tutor, who are available to talk with sophomores, juniors, and seniors about the concentration. If you'd like to learn more about the discipline, hear about research in the department, or have questions about Sociology courses, schedule an appointment with your Concentration Advisor.
Peer Concentration Advisors
Sociology Peer Concentration Advisors (PCAs) are current Sociology concentrators who have volunteered to meet with students interested in declaring or switching into the Sociology concentration. PCAs are happy to chat with you about their experience in the concentration and what led them to Sociology. You can reach out to any PCA with similar academic, career, or extracurricular interests.
