Students are required to take 10 courses (30 credits), with at least one course taken in three of the four fields of Political Science (American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Politics, and Political Theory). Students choose three courses per semester. A student is allowed to take two or, with permission, three courses in other departments. The passing of a comprehensive examination completes the requirements of the program. If a student chooses to write a thesis, eight courses of study are required and the written comprehensive examination is waived. This is a two year program.
