Doctorates Awarded in Sociology, by Race or Ethnicity

Notes: Uses the field “Academic Discipline, Detailed (standardized): Sociology.” This chart includes doctorates awarded in two subfields, sociology and demography/population studies, that cannot be separated in the available data. Race or ethnicity in this chart uses the “historical” categories for consistency across years. Categories are mutually exclusive. Percentages calculated based on respondents whose race or ethnicity is known.
