MA Political Science

Offered through the Political Science department, the master of arts program meets the educational and professional needs of three groups of students: (1) working professionals and other adults desiring to improve their qualifications or seeking a greater understanding of political life; (2) those planning to become high school teachers or instructors in two year colleges; and (3) students wishing to prepare for Ph.D. or other advanced study. The degree requirements are structured, therefore, to provide students with an education which prepares them for a mature grasp of politics, a respect for intellectual integrity, and an ability to communicate effectively.
