Political Science and Public Affairs

Summary

Saint Louis University's Master of Arts in Political Science and Public Affairs program allows academically talented students to advance their knowledge and analytical skills by focusing on an interdisciplinary problem-oriented area within political science.

SLU's M.A. in political science and public affairs is open to individuals who have earned a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in political science or a related social science discipline from an accredited university and demonstrate outstanding potential. 

 

The M.A. in political science and public affairs requires 30 credits.

M.A. students in St. Louis may choose one of four concentration areas—American politics, international affairs, public policy and administration, or political thought. All M.A. students at Saint Louis University-Madrid complete a concentration in international relations and crisis.

Students enrolled at either St. Louis or Madrid may take elective courses at the other location.

American Politics Concentration

This concentration provides a substantive grounding in the academic study of American politics, strong methodological skills, and options to focus on particular areas of interest, such as public law. This concentration is appropriate for students with a variety of interests and goals, including additional graduate study in political science and related fields as well as law school.

Political Thought Concentration

This concentration provides substantive grounding in the history of Western political thought, and the opportunity to explore issues in contemporary political theory and philosophy.

Public Policy and Administration Concentration

This concentration is designed for students interested in a practical understanding of how political and social policies are developed and administered. Like a Master of Public Administration, it prepares students to work in local and national government, nonprofits, and the private sector.

International Affairs Concentration

This concentration provides theoretical and substantive grounding in international relations and comparative politics. Topics covered include the process of democratization, international security, warfare, and economic development.

International Relations and Crisis Concentration (SLU-Madrid)

This concentration familiarizes students with the key theoretical, political, and social dimensions of the global governance of insecurity, and the emergence, management and consequences of crises today.
