"MAPSS is perfect for those who enjoy interdisciplinary studies. After
three years in the London School of Economics, reading a BSc Econs, I
intended to take up more advanced Economics courses in the highly
reputable department at the UofC. Yet, the flexibility afforded by the
MAPSS course structure opened up my options. While shopping for
classes in the first weeks of school, I decided to branch into
international political economy. Combining courses in the Harris
school, the Graduate School of Business, and the political science
department, the cross-disciplinary nature of the MAPSS program allows
me to tailor my degree to my interests and strengths.
Besides providing academic support, the faculty and staff are
excellent listeners and mentors. It particularly heart-warming to
receive emails from Professors and staff when I was in London during
the bomb blasts. Though busy with their own work and research, they
have been most approachable and caring. A year of intensive work, and
plenty of lovely memories!"
"As an international student interested in studying in the USA, I chose the MAPSS program because it offered me the chance to gain a graduate degree without blindly committing to five to ten years on the other side of the world. The University of Chicago offered the perfect environment to build on what I learnt as an undergraduate at Cambridge University, giving me a real sense of graduate study in the Social Sciences in the US (both the pros and cons), and the chance to really think critically about what I wanted to study and why. The help and support of the faculty, especially within MAPSS but across the University too, was more than I could have asked for. I graduated from MAPSS with a real sense of what I want to do, and have received great support and advice to help me achieve these goals."
"The world is a messy place that doesn't fit neatly into disciplinary compartments. The interdiciplinary approach of the MAPSS program recognizes this. Today I continue to explore the messiness of the world by producing an international affairs program at Chicago Public Radio. Currently, I'm taking a year's leave to travel to Ghana as a Fulbright Scholar where I'm teaching Ghanaian masters students broadcast journalism and working on assorted community-based radio and video projects."
"MAPSS not only equips its students with an extensive theoretical background but also the tools by which they can be applied. More than simply becoming familiar with particular theories, one engages in their critical understanding. Joined with the program's freedom and support, such an understanding served to transform my own once seemingly divergent interests and ideas into a cohesive argument."
"Choosing MAPSS was an excellent choice for me. Moving away from pure
economics into the realms of anthropology and sociology allowed me to
broaden my range of academic interests. As I continue to work in the field
of economic development, the different social science perspectives I gained
through MAPSS have been invaluable in shaping my career."
"I have a 5 year fellowship at a top research university in my field, and met wonderful mentors and friends among both the students and the faculty. The MAPSS program exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful every day that I went to U of C."
