Political Science (PhD)
For most students, arriving at a course of study in political science will involve selection of two focus fields from among five fields:
- American Politics
- Comparative Politics
- International Relations
- Political Methodology
- Political Theory
in addition to a course-out minor from either one of the above fields, a graduate interdisciplinary specialization or a graduate minor. Students may also choose one or more departmental specializations in the fields:
- Formal Theory
- Political Economy
- Political Psychology
- Race, Ethnicity, and Gender
More individualized programs emphasizing either breadth or depth may be developed in consultation with an academic advisor.
