George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government offers a PhD in Political Science that equips students for academic roles, research positions, and professional opportunities across government agencies, consulting firms, nonprofit groups, and NGOs. This unique program integrates academic coursework with practical exposure to the very types of intricate domestic and global political entities students will analyze in their research.
Inspired by the American Political Science Association's Congressional Fellows Program, this educational approach aims to cultivate scholarly excellence while providing direct experience with key institutions including policy think tanks, international organizations, NGOs, political publications, and various government offices at both congressional and executive levels.
