Joint BA/MA Option for UChicago Undergraduate Students

Current UChicago 3rd Year students can apply to join the MACSS Advanced Standing Track as a joint degree student during their 4th year in the College. This 4-year joint degree option can be completed during the College enrollment, with no additional tuition cost.

Learn more about the Social Sciences Division’s BA/MA policies and admissions requirements.

Interested students should contact Lindsey Weglarz, Associate Dean of Students for Admissions and Data Reporting (lweglarz@uchicago.edu) to discuss joint degree planning and eligibility.

If you’re interested in the Computational Social Science minor, know that completing the minor will meet many of the requirements for admission into MACSS as a part of the BA/MA program. Students interested in pursuing a College Minor en route to a MA in Computational Social Science are encouraged to reach out to the Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies, Jon Clindaniel (jclindaniel@uchicago.edu), for more information on recommended undergraduate course planning leading up to their 4th year.
