 The Division of Social Sciences offers several diverse graduate programs where students receive extensive educational, research, and professional training that prepares them for a variety of careers, including academia. Departments offering Ph.D. degrees are Anthropology, Economics, Chicana and Chicano Studies, Communication, Political Science, and Sociology. The Global and International Studies program also offers a Master of Arts. Students may pursue one of several interdisciplinary Ph.D. emphases in Global Studies, Human Development, Language, Interaction, and Social Organization, Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences, Technology and Society, and Women’s Studies.
Our nationally and internationally recognized scholars teach and mentor graduate students to make new discoveries, offer critical perspectives, and establish alternative visions. Students from a wide variety of fields are brought together through interdisciplinary research centers, interdepartmental programs, and graduate community events.
The Division works closely with Departments, the Graduate Division, and Institutional Advancement to support and promote graduate student teaching and research. The Division has made diversifying its graduate student population a top priority by providing underrepresented students with the opportunity to apply for funding resources for summer research activities, conference travel and research support through the National Science Foundation--University of California Diversity Initiative for Graduate Study in the Social Sciences (UC DIGSSS) grant.
