Default Programs in Computational Social Science, Human Complexity, etc (anyone know of any?)

Hi there,

I'm interested in finding programs that are interdisciplinary in nature: marrying computer programming with math and the social sciences to model and analyze human behavior.

As far as I can tell this means I'm looking for graduate (MS and PhD) programs in Human Complex Systems, Quantitative Social Science, Mathematical Behavioral Sciences, Computational Social Science, Social Complexity, Social Computing, and Behavioral Modeling...

I've discovered programs at George Mason, Carnegie Mellon, UC Irvine, Harvard, and UCLA.

Are there any others out there? It's such an emerging (read: new) field that it's hard finding programs--in part because each school focuses on slightly different aspects and calls their programs slightly different names.

Thanks in advance!

Warm regards,

Abe

If you find more or are willing to share where you applied and got accepted, please let me know too. I'm currently at UCLA doing grad/undergrad CS & undergrad Anthropology and HCS. I'd like to find appropriate Ph.D program to go from here. I know of George Mason and UC Irvine and will also be considering Ph.D in CS with Social Science emphasis in UC Santa Barbara. I don't think I'd ever get in Harvard but I'll check on Carnegie Mellon now too as I did not know they offer something like that.
