在这里学什么？

Our graduate program in political science gives students a unique start to their academic careers. At SIU, our M.A. and Ph.D. programs feature: Faculty mentors who prepare graduate students for successful careers as researchers and teachers; Four-year assistantships with additional fellowship opportunities; Graduate seminars centered around aspects of political behavior in a way that cuts across traditional subfields; Resources and opportunities available only at a comprehensive research university; Diverse community in a beautiful region of the country; Small cohorts of students from around the world; High placement rate in faculty positions around the country and the world.

Our graduate program attempts to balance the highly-focused study needed to develop research expertise with a breadth of study that prepares students to teach a wide range of courses. We do this by focusing our curriculum on political behavior topics that cut across traditional subfields. Students choose one of three concentrations: Comparative Politics / International Relations; Judicial Decision-Making; Political Communication.

The faculty teaching in these concentrations come from a diverse background. Some focus on regional politics, such as the politics of the Post-Soviet region, the Middle East, or the United States. Some have research agendas that include the study of international relations, religion and politics, or public policy. The result is a unique educational experience that gives our students focused training in a way that cuts across traditional subfields to give students a broad understanding of political science.

PROGRAM OF STUDY

The M.A. in political science requires 30 credit hours of coursework. This includes graduate seminars in political science, including two courses of research methods and a one-hour pre-professional seminar. Students write a Research Paper that must be approved by two faculty members. Typically, the M.A. takes 1.5 years to complete.
