I am pleased to announce that Tulane University has awarded funding for a new Ph.D. Program in Sociology, Urban Studies, and Social Work titled City, Culture and Community (CCC) (website: http:\/\/tulane.edu\/ccc\/<\/a>). The newly formed CCC Ph.D. Program is a broad-based and integrative graduate education-research program that addresses interrelationships between the physical environment, the built environment, and social, economic, and political institutions and processes that shape urban areas.\u00a0 The intellectual focus of the CCC program is unique in bringing together interdisciplinary approaches in the social sciences, social work, architecture, law, humanities and applying them to understand a range of issues pertaining to cities, culture, and communities.\u00a0\u00a0 The new CCC program reflects Tulane University’s effort and commitment to further interdisciplinary research and education to achieve greater synergy among related disciplines, to focus resources on programs of existing strength, and to put greater emphasis on subjects related to the transformation of urban communities.\u00a0 The CCC’s breadth of interdisciplinary study allow students considerable flexibility to tailor their training to individual research interests while providing a depth of disciplinary skills in sociology, urban studies, or social work.<\/p>\n

CCC Ph.D. Program awards degrees in three disciplines:<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ph.D. in Sociology – City, Culture, and Community (CCC)
\n*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ph.D. in Urban Studies – City, Culture, and Community (CCC)
\n*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ph.D. in Social Work – City, Culture, and Community (CCC)
\nUnique Features and Goals:<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CCC program uses a novel and innovative model of graduate education and research that integrates disciplinary, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary perspectives to prepare students for non-academic career paths in public, private, and non-profit sector human service and social research positions.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CCC’s coupled disciplinary and interdisciplinary training provides students with the skills to pursue academic positions in a variety of social work and social science departments from sociology to urban studies, environmental studies, urban planning, urban development, and other interdisciplinary fields<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CCC seminars, workshops, colloquia, internships, and teaching and research mentoring enable students to acquire advanced and applied data analytic research skills, GIS training, policy evaluation skills, grant writing skills, and proficiency in qualitative and quantitative methods.<\/p>\n

Degree Requirements<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 48 hours of course work, including a pro-seminar and capstone seminar
\n*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Two specialty (area) exams
\n*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Research Practicum
\n*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Teaching Practicum
\n*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dissertation<\/p>\n

Financial Support<\/p>\n

The CCC Ph.D. Program expects students to complete their doctoral studies in five years, a reasonable request given the multiple sources of financial support and professional mentoring CCC faculty provide. Students are expected to be actively involved in data collection, analysis, and other research activities during the summer months as well as the nine-month academic year.\u00a0 First- and second-year funding will consist of a fellowship.\u00a0 Funding for those qualifying students in years 3-5 will take the form of research and teaching assistantships and students will have the option of competing for fellowship funds in their final year of study.\u00a0 Participation in funded research provides additional graduate support as well as offering critical research and training opportunities.\u00a0 The CCC Ph.D. Program will actively encourage and train students to pursue external funding.<\/p>\n
