The Northern Arizona University designed this Master's degree to provide students with broad training suitable for pursuing doctoral work or a career in government, teaching, or the private sector. Students choose their primary field of study from one of these three areas: American Politics and Public Administration, Comparative Politics and International Relations, or Public Policy.
A degree in Political Science can prepare students for a career in a diverse range of job opportunities. Here, students can advance their knowledge about how public lives are organized at the local, national, and international levels. The University offers a highly diverse and collaborative approach to graduate study in political science. Students will work closely with faculty to formulate a specialized plan to pursue their personal interests. Whether it's American politics, public administration, public policy, comparative politics, or political theory, students can tailor their academic work to help students meet their career goals. Students will be in good company, with many fellow students and faculty members pursuing in-depth study in the field.
