The Master of Arts (M.A.) program aims to cultivate students' analytical and critical thinking skills by exploring political and governmental systems. This program prepares individuals for careers in research, academia, or professional public service and political roles. Participants can opt for either a broad overview of the field or focus on specific areas like American politics, international relations, comparative politics, or governmental operations. The curriculum consists of 30 credit hours, typically completed through eight 3-credit courses, 6 credits of hands-on experience (such as internships, consulting projects, or study abroad programs), and a final non-thesis research project.
