Departments and Programs
At the heart of the School are its academic programs: departments of African-American Studies, Economics, History, Political Science, and Sociology & Anthropology, the graduate program in Law, Policy, and Society, and the undergraduate program in International Affairs.
Each social science discipline brings to bear a particular theoretical lens through which one can understand critical issues. Theory informs applied research and, in turn, is shaped by lessons obtained from experience. Taken across multiple disciplines, this creative tension enables us to ask the right questions about key public issues.
