 Mathematical Social Science:
What is It?

Mathematical Social Science is an undergraduate honors major combining mathematical training with one or more of the social sciences or life sciences.

Coming from the social sciences, MSS is for students interested in Anthropology, Economics, Education, Geography, History, Political Science, or Sociology as a quantitative social science.

Coming from mathematics, MSS is for students interested in statistics, data analysis, mathematics or computer sciences directed toward application in social science.
