This program is geared towards students who want a deep foundation in the scholarship of political science. It can be taken as a terminal degree for someone seeking a career in government, politics, law or a related field, or it can be taken as the first step to a doctorate. Unlike our professional politics and educator concentrations, this M.A. focuses more on developing a student’s independent research.
The Political Science master's degree program offers a choice of four concentrations:
- General Political Science
- American Politics
- International and Comparative Politics
- Public Law
Students with an interest in quantitative methods also have the option of choosing an advanced methods track.
