The Program

The Department of Political Science is committed to making its graduate education programs, applied research, services and faculty available to rural and local governments and agencies in Northwest Ohio through the Center for Policy Analysis and Public Service.

The Master of Political Science program is designed to prepare students for advanced education and professional education in the discipline and related ones; to provide students with the capacity to analyze politics and public affairs. The Department, in cooperation with the Graduate College, has suspended new admissions to the program for an indefinite period.

The Department of Political Science offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts and the dual Master of Arts in Political Science and German.

The dual Master of Arts in Political Science and German Program prepares a limited number of students for careers in some phase of international politics, education, or commerce in which fluency in the German language is essential. For German language requirements consult the graduate coordinator, Department of German, Russian, and East Asian Languages.
