The Political Science department provides two dynamic graduate study options: a one-year M.A. program (running September to September) involving coursework plus either a significant research paper or thesis; and an M.A. internship track that blends academic study with a six-month paid professional placement.
We guarantee financial support packages that compete favorably with other MA programs.
At Windsor's Political Science Department, students join a thriving scholarly environment. Our program boasts excellent funding opportunities for M.A. candidates and presents two compelling graduate pathways:
The one-year M.A. program, typically completed from September to September, requires coursework along with either a substantial research project or thesis;
The normal requirement for admission to the one-year M.A. program is an honours degree or combined honours degree in Political Science, or an honours degree in a related discipline, such as International Relations, with a 77% average. Honours graduates in fields other than these will be considered on the basis of their academic background and standing. Those with less than a four-year degree, or with minor deficiencies, will be required to take additional courses, or to enter a two-year program.
