BA History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Science and Medicine

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of Chicago

Program Overview

The only program of its kind, the B.A. program in the History, Philosophy, and Social Studies of Science and Medicine (HIPS) is designed for UChicago students interested in studying science in terms of its historical development, conceptual structure, and social role. Students in the program must do sufficient work in one or more sciences to acquire a sound foundation for studying the nature of science. After securing this basis, they are expected to gain an understanding of how science arose, as well as how the content of scientific thought has changed and is changing, because of both its own internal dynamic and its interaction with the larger society in which it is embedded.
