About the Program
The program supports dissertatition writers with TGR status, within the six social science departments of the School of Humanities & Sciences. Particular encouragement is provided to graduate students whose research crosses disciplinary boundaries, relies upon computational social science methods, and/or analyzes large, complex data sets. Due to high demand, we are only able to accommodate students enrolled in departments under the School of Humanities & Sciences.
