Undergraduate Minor Program
The undergraduate minor program for CNISS consists chiefly of three
parts: an introductory freshman seminar, a formal cluster of New
Institutional Social Sciences (NISS) courses, and course opportunities
across the disciplines for students interested in NISS. In addition,
undergraduate students can apply for faculty-led research projects in
NISS and participate in an undergraduate honors conference.

Certificate Program for
Ph.D. Students
The Certificate Program in New Institutional Social Sciences for Ph.D.
Students admits five students every year, one from each of the Ph.D.
programs in social sciences at Washington University: Anthropology,
Economics, History, Philosophy, and Political Science. Students who
have successfully completed their second year of Ph.D. training in
their respective departments are encouraged to apply. Students are
given summer funding in addition to the money they get from their
stipends in the respective Ph.D. programs in which they are enrolled.

Summer School
This program is open to both graduate students and nonstudent
participants.
First, two basic training courses are offered at
Washington University every year to Ph.D. and advanced Ph.D. candidates
from all over the world. These classes cover economic history,
econometrics and game theory, and a special session of the evolution of
social institutions.
The second component is made of two graduate
seminars that are taught every year and bring together the Ph.D.
students of the CNISS program with the visitors invited to attend the
training program. 15 applicants will be selected to participate each
year.
In the final stage of the program, those
participants who can stay longer will work with Washington University
Ph.D. students and faculty to complete their personal project and
prepare them to return to their jobs at universities and other private
and public organizations.

CNISS
Programs
The Center promotes an
ongoing research program involving undergraduate and graduate students,
together with junior and senior faculty of Washington University, and
scholars from around the world. This program will evolve around four
main components: an undergraduate 'minor' program in New Institutional
Social Sciences; a certificate program for Ph.D. students; a summer
school; and a research center that will help focus and fund research of
undergraduate honors theses, graduate dissertations, visting scholars,
Washington University faculty, and related research around the world.

CNISS Research
The Center is a collaborative research facility, aiming to coordinate
joint projects, resource pools, exchange programs and other forms of
cooperation among researchers. Through student exchanges, joint
research, and joint academic conferences, CNISS hopes to combine the
efforts of centers that are normally in fierce competition with one
another.
