BA in Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences in Evanston United States | Northwestern University

A defining characteristic of contemporary social, behavioral, management, and policy studies is their reliance on mathematical and statistical tools, serving both as communication frameworks and analytical techniques. Northwestern's faculty employ mathematical methodologies in their social science investigations, and quantitative methods form a core element of graduate-level social science curricula. Yet, conventional undergraduate social science programs often lack structured, coherent integration of mathematical approaches. This gap leaves undergraduates in traditional tracks without methodical instruction in mathematical modeling techniques.

The MMSS curriculum provides students with essential skills for constructing and evaluating mathematical models. Alumni of this program demonstrate exceptional achievement in advanced academic pursuits and professional careers, owing to their thorough grounding in mathematical problem-solving approaches.
