The master's degree offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to cultivate wide-ranging knowledge of political science principles, methodologies, and discoveries. For students not pursuing doctoral studies, we recommend diversifying coursework across multiple disciplines while concentrating on subjects aligned with their professional aspirations. Electives from other departments should enhance specialized career competencies. Unlike the PhD track, which directly prepares students for academia, the master's program maintains broader objectives. Students should clearly identify the expertise and capabilities they wish to acquire through their graduate studies.

Applicants scoring below 146 on the Quantitative section, 156 on the Verbal section, and a 3.5 on the Analytical Writing sections of the GRE will generally not be considered by the Departmental Admissions Committee, except under exceptional circumstances.

Admission to this major requires a grade point average (GPA) of better than B (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) on the second half of undergraduate coursework and a 3.5 on graduate level work already completed. Three letters of recommendation and the applicant's personal statement are required. Occasional deviations from these standards are allowed for applicants who possess exceptional qualities that are not reflected in these criteria. Because admission is competitive, no particular GRE and GPA guarantees acceptance.
