Chicago has a program that accepts graduating Chicago undergrads into Booth, they then work for a couple of years before attending, no further application required. Chicago also has an MA program in the social sciences (MAPSS) that often can be combined with the BA degree and has but one required course. The student can draw from the entire social science and related spectrum of courses to design a focus. BA/MA degrees are also available through the School of Social Service Administration, the Committee on International Relations, and others.

Even back in the day, we had several U of C graduates in our lab at Chicago seeking graduate degrees. There was a time when Chicago actively discouraged undergrads from applying to grad school at Chicago, but that was a very long time ago.
