Other Social Science sequences ( Classics of Social and Political Thought, Mind, Global Society, Social Science Inquiry and Power, Identity, Resistance ) will also review application files if programmatically necessary. We encourage applicants to spend time reviewing the descriptions and syllabi for Core sequences to understand the distinct topics and approaches and gauge best fit.
