Director's Message

We welcome inquiries concerning our 30-hour Master of Arts in Political Science degree program, which we think offers a solid, general background in political science and its four main subfields--American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Political Theory, plus a minor in Public Administration. Our general goals in this program are:

• To provide a broad spectrum of educational programs and services through the concentration of resources on those activities having the greatest impact for public good and making these activities accessible throughout the state, nation and world.
• To increase service learning and outreach by bringing students' research skills to community service agencies.
• To disseminate new knowledge by promoting scientific discoveries via integrating research into the curriculum.
• To implement discovery-based learning experiences that focus on learning how to learn.
