About the MMSS Program

Founded in 1978, Northwestern's unique MMSS Program allows a select group of high ability students to combine the study of social sciences with rigorous training in mathematics, statistics, and formal modeling. The program allows students gifted in mathematics to explore fields beyond math and science, and prepares them to succeed in graduate study and in a wide variety of careers in the social sciences and business. It also provides ideal preparation for students planning to enroll in one of the Kellogg Undergraduate Certificate Programs in their junior or senior year. Learn more about MMSS...
