在这里学什么？

The Department of Political Science offers graduate study leading to the degrees of the Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Arts. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is appropriate for those who wish to pursue careers as research scholars in institutions of higher education. The Master of Arts curriculum is appropriate as preparation for more advanced work in political science.

Sub-fields in the Department

Students typically choose a Major from among the following sub-fields: American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, Political Theory, Public Policy/Public Administration. Students also choose a Minor from among the previously listed fields, plus Methods or Race, Ethnic, and Gender Politics.

There are several organized research programs within the department that encourage collaboration and dialogue across these sub-fields.

The Master of Arts (MA) curriculum is designed to provide broad preparation through research and creativity. Students have the option to pursue a thesis or non-thesis Master of Arts degree.

Requirements for an MA in political science may be satisfied by completing one of two options.

Option I, the thesis plan - requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of credit, no more than 6 of which may be for thesis research POLS 691; a final oral examination is required unless the student has a 3.5 average or better.

Option II, the non-thesis plan - requires at least 36 semester hours of coursework, 24 of which must be in political science plus a minimum of 6 hours in a supporting field; a comprehensive examination is mandatory.

For both degrees, specific program formulation is the responsibility of the student, his or her graduate committee and the graduate advisor. Required methods courses for the PhD and MA in political science include POLS 601 and POLS 602. This sequence presumes familiarity with quantitative research methods in social science. Students without such preparation may be required to take prerequisite work in quantitative methods during their first semester of study in the program.
