Information Session: Political Science (MA)
bis
Washington, Washington
Join us to learn about the MA in Political Science at GW, a program designed to give students both depth and flexibility as they advance their studies in politics and policy. Students build a strong academic foundation while tailoring their program to their specific interests—whether preparing for doctoral study, law school, or professional careers in government, business, and beyond. Coursework spans a wide range of fields, including Public Opinion and Psychology, Social Movements, International Security, and Game Theory, and many classes are taken alongside PhD students for a truly rigorous experience. Beyond the classroom, students engage in scholarly debates, sharpen their statistical research skills, and apply theory to practice in Washington, D.C.—the center of political life. Graduates emerge prepared to take on roles as campaign strategists, government and policy leaders, professors, consultants, or expert media contributors, making an immediate impact in the field of political science.
