MA in Political Science in Washington United States | Howard University

Howard University's political science program goes beyond conventional academic boundaries seen at many other schools. We educate students in analyzing political systems, behaviors, and processes through empirical methods, while emphasizing African American and Black Diaspora politics - from worldwide freedom movements to the Black political arena.
The Graduate School's Political Science M.A. program equips students for doctoral studies or professional paths in public service, policy, legal fields, international relations, research, government, and consulting. You'll gain from Howard's prime location in Washington, D.C., the heart of U.S. politics and policy, with connections to elite research centers, consulting groups, policy institutes, and government bodies. M.A. candidates can specialize in one of four areas: American government, Black political studies, comparative government, or global affairs.
