社会科学哲学博士

建立社会科学计划的信念是，广泛的跨学科教育比对一门传统学科进行更狭窄，更专业的培训会更好地为社会和政策科学领域的高等教育学院做好准备。创始人相信，关于社会本质及其不满的问题的答案并非一门学科，而是需要所有人共同做出的贡献。今天，随着现代世界日益复杂和相互依存，这种信念更加坚定。该计划在机构上创造了一个支持性和激励性的环境，博士生可以轻松地寻求传统学科的学术问题。学生在装备精良的海湾中拥有独立的工作区域，在专用的计算机区域中具有用于定量和定性研究的广泛软件支持，以及用于会议演示的差旅支持等。我们是全日制住宿
The Maxwell School's Social Science Program was established in 1946 as the nation's first interdisciplinary doctoral program in the social sciences. It continues to be a leading center for creative scholarship for students whose intellectual interests do not easily fit within the confines of a single discipline. With guidance from their faculty advisers, Social Science doctoral students develop their own programs of interdisciplinary study. Recent graduates and current students have chosen areas of study such as leadership in transnational NGOs, urban planning and development, international relations, national security studies, conflict resolution, economic and social development, civil society, media and culture, social network theory, democratization, immigration and refugees, labor relations, gerontology, women's studies, social and health services and policy, citizenship, environmental and energy policy, social movements, Native American studies, peace studies and globalization, among others.<br><br>The Social Science Program was founded in the conviction that a broad interdisciplinary education would often better prepare higher education faculty in the social and policy sciences than would narrower, more specialized training in one of the traditional disciplines. The founders of the program believed that answers to many questions about the nature of society and its discontents do not rest in just one discipline, but rather require the integrated contributions of them all, including political science, geography, sociology, anthropology, history, international relations, economics, and public administration. This conviction is today being even further reinforced by the growing complexity and interdependence both within and among societies in the modern world.
