The Department of Politics offers a doctoral program culminating in a Ph.D. degree, with no standalone master's program available. This comprehensive curriculum provides extensive training in political science while allowing specialization across key disciplines, including American politics, comparative politics, international relations, political theory, public law, and quantitative methods. Structured as a five-year course of study, the program involves two years of coursework, followed by a general examination, research, teaching responsibilities, and concludes with a public oral defense. All enrolled students pursue the Ph.D. directly, though an M.A. may be granted either as an intermediate milestone for continuing candidates or as a final qualification for departing students.
