Undergraduate Programs

At the University of Chicago, undergraduates can explore Computational Social Science—a growing field that combines the rigor of social science inquiry with the power of computational tools such as machine learning, big data analytics, and simulation. UChicago undergraduates can explore computational social science through the college minor or the Advanced Scholars "4+1" pathway to a master’s degree. In both, students gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge methods and technologies that are reshaping how we understand human behavior and society. These programs prepare students to think critically across disciplines, conduct innovative research, and graduate with a competitive edge in both academic and applied careers.
