The Social Sciences help us understand ourselves, as individuals and as members of society, so that we might make a positive difference in our shared world. Build your expertise and live out this difference by earning your Master’s or PhD from the University of Chicago, an institution consistently ranked among the top ten social research universities in the world. 

Graduate students in the UChicago Social Sciences Division design their own path of study and benefit from becoming lifelong members of a global network of UChicago graduates—a community of scholars unlike any other. Our Master’s programs offer a wide range of interdisciplinary concentrations designed to meet each of our student’s unique goals and academic interests. Our Master’s graduates go on to earn PhDs and enter professional fields such as consulting, think tanks, data analysis, education, and more with a leg up. Our PhD programs produce high-caliber scholars entering the academy or a variety of professional careers such in government, research, consulting, higher education, and more.
