About

Overview Social Sciences students at University of Chicago concentrate in anthropology, economics, history, political science, psychology, sociology, or in interdisciplinary research. They take nine graduate courses, selected from all UChicago departments and professional schools. They work directly with UChicago faculty on the MA thesis. Students are assisted in their course selections, and offered weekly mentorship for their research, by doctoral student “preceptors" and by the MAPSS senior staff.Why MAPSS? The admitted students:Get full access to the faculty and resources of the University of Chicago, including all graduate workshops and the centers and institutes.Select eight graduate courses from any department or professional school of the University. While most of those classes will be in the social sciences, others may come from the Division of the Humanities, the Harris School of Public Policy, the Booth School of Business, the Law School, Divinity, and the School of Social Service Administration.Take one required course, “Perspectives in Social Science Analysis,” furnishing a common vocabulary, and exposure to canonical texts, across each of our social science disciplines.Write an article-length MA thesis under the direct supervision of UChicago faculty, from any department or professional school.
