The Department of Political Science offers graduate work leading to the master of arts (M.A.), the master of public administration (M.P.A.), and the doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.).  The department has approximately 100 students in its various on-campus graduate programs, and about half these students are pursuing work at the doctoral level.  The department also sponsors a large off-campus master's degree program in public administration in which about 350 students currently are enrolled.  A number of courses are offered in the evenings to accommodate the large number of part-time students enrolled, especially in the public administration program. 

The principal fields of study for the M.A. and Ph.D. are American government and politics, comparative politics, international relations, political theory, public administration, and public policy.  Special areas of concentration within certain fields are available at the doctoral level and currently include Congress and representation.  The department also allows other areas of concentration with the approval of the student's advisory committee and the Director of Graduate Studies.
