a revolutionary program at the forefront of social sciences

[alpacinou]

Does it make sense to say a university's program is "at the forefront of" a branch of science?

Is this correct?

Master's of Integrated Sociology offered by the University of Melbourne is a revolutionary program at the forefront of social sciences.

If not, how can I express the idea that a program is really new and at the cutting edge of a particular science?

Are you talking about the reduced adjective clause?

Do I need "the" at the beginning before Master's?

 

[teechar]

That's right.

Do I need "the" at the beginning before Master's?

Yes. You're talking about a specific program among the myriad of master's programs available.

Alpacinoutd, I have again had to change your thread title. You put your question as the title instead of the relevant part of the quote.
