The MA Program in the Social Sciences (MAPSS) is an intense, intellectually transformative one-year program offering extraordinary access to the faculty and resources of a world-class research University. Students 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 and work directly with UChicago faculty on the MA thesis.

The Master of Arts Program in Social Sciences (MAPSS) is a one-year degree that prepares students planning for further doctoral studies or a career in a myriad of industries and organizations. Through 9 courses and a thesis project, students can focus on a specific social scientific discipline or pursue interdisciplinary interests. Students are guided by instructional staff (the “preceptor”) whose academic expertise is in their field of study or a related one. Regardless of the path chosen, MAPSS students engage with faculty and graduate students across departments, committees, and centers as well as the broader UChicago community.
