M.A. in Politics

The Catholic University of America – Globally Recruit

The M.A. in politics offers concentrations in Political Theory, World Politics, and American Government. Class sizes are small--generally under ten students per course--and feature traditional seminar-style environments and close working relationships with Politics Department faculty. A limited number of half-tuition merit scholarships are available on a competitive basis for highly qualified students.

The program is designed to be completed in two years of full-time study (three courses in each of the first three semesters, plus a tenth course in the spring of the second year along with the comprehensive examination). Students with prior graduate coursework, or who take a more ambitious course load, are often able to meet the program requirements in a year and a half. And students who work full time have the option to enroll in the MA program part-time (taking one or two classes per semester) our classes are generally scheduled in the evenings to facilitate this.
