  • Admission Links

  • The accelerated one-year MA in Politics is a 30-credit program that introduces students to critical, historical, and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of politics.

    Students gain a broad understanding of political inquiry by taking courses across the department, on subjects ranging from the history of political thought and political theory to political economy, global politics to transnational politics, political institutions to social movements. This degree, an alternative to the standard two-year degree, is both a professional stepping stone and an intellectual project in its own right.
