Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences
The Social Sciences at Caltech
The Social Science Faculty in the Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences is an interdisciplinary group of scholars who would be housed in the departments of anthropology, economics, finance, law, political science, or psychology at other universities. The group is held together by a common belief in applying rigorous theoretical, empirical, and experimental analysis to the study of economic and political institutions, and how individuals behave in them. We grant undergraduate degrees in economics, business economics and management, and political science, and a doctorate in social science.
