Student Life
Q: What is the climate of the program? How do the students get along?
A: The Applied Social Program meets as a group once each week to discuss research and professional issues. This helps to build a sense of community. In these meetings students give each other constructive feedback on their research projects so that students can benefit from the expertise of their peers, as well as the faculty.Q: Do the students tend to work collaboratively or independently?
A: Typically, the research that students conduct is a mix of independent and collaborative projects. Students often pursue research projects with other students, either independently or under the supervision of a faculty member. Please view our page on Student Publications and Presentations for more information.Q: Do the students socialize with one another?
A: Yes. Typically, students who enter the program together become friends and will socialize in the evenings and weekends. Also, students who share the same advisor often become friends and spend time together away from campus.
