The Master of Arts in Political Science enhances and expands the knowledge base of political science students. This program is tailored to support the career growth of high school and community college educators, government workers, and military members. It also lays the foundation for pursuing doctoral studies in political science or attending law school. Additionally, the program equips journalists, research assistants, special librarians, and individuals engaged in civic and political involvement with valuable skills. Students gain comprehensive insights into how institutional and non-institutional entities influence political processes and policy development, both domestically and internationally. The curriculum specifically offers: chances to grasp and implement political theories and research methodologies, hands-on experience with analytical tools, including data analysis and research techniques, and the capacity to articulate political concepts with clarity and critical thinking. Earning a master's in political science opens doors to doctoral studies, legal education, government careers at various levels, diplomatic service, college-level teaching, business, media, or leadership roles in civic and political engagement.

Acceptance into the M.A. in the political science program requires a grade-point average of 3.0 in the major field and in all political science courses. If the major is not in one of the social sciences, the GPA requirement also applies to upper-division social science courses taken.

For those without such a background, the M.A. Political Science Coordinator may require the applicant to take a group of upper-division political science courses at the 300 and/or 400 level (not more than nine units of which will be at the 300 level) prior to admission to the program. This requirement is to assure that the student will be prepared for graduate-level work in the discipline of political science.
Have earned a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.5 from the last degree completed by the candidate or have attained a grade-point average of at least 2.5 (A=4.0) in the last 60 semester (90 quarter) units attempted.
