The Political Science Department provides graduate studies with five specialization areas: American government, comparative government, global relations, political philosophy, and public administration/policy. The master's curriculum gives students fundamental knowledge of the field's breadth and research methods while offering adaptable study plans tailored to professional goals. Those aiming for doctoral studies should focus on empirical theories, quantitative analysis, and research methodologies. Course options support careers in government, education (public/private), community organizations, and corporate sectors. Each graduate collaborates with their faculty advisor to create a focused academic plan. Evening and late afternoon graduate courses allow part-time students to complete their master's degree requirements.
