The Department of Political Science provides advanced degree programs focusing on five specialized areas: American government, comparative political systems, global affairs, political philosophy, and public sector management and policy.
Our master's curriculum equips students with fundamental knowledge of political science methods while offering adaptable study plans tailored to professional goals. Those aiming for doctoral studies should prioritize theoretical frameworks, data analysis skills, and research methodologies. Course selections can prepare graduates for diverse career paths including government roles, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and corporate environments. Each graduate student collaborates closely with faculty advisors to design a personalized, cohesive academic plan.
For working professionals, we offer flexible scheduling with evening courses that allow part-time students to complete their master's degree requirements.
Our PhD program emphasizes theoretical frameworks and quantitative analysis. We promote interdisciplinary learning to enhance understanding of political transformation. Graduates emerge prepared for academic positions, government careers, or private sector roles requiring advanced analytical capabilities. Degree completion depends on demonstrated scholarly achievement through independent research and coursework, not merely fulfilling credit hours or time requirements.
