Politics - Brandeis University

Politics from Brandeis University is a Campus Master International Relations degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. The Politics (BA/MA) program is designed to enable exceptional undergraduates to earn two degrees simultaneously during their period of study at Brandeis. Admission to the program requires an overall GPA of 3.33 and a GPA in politics of 3.50 (based on the completion of at least six politics courses, five of which have been taught by politics department faculty) by the end of their fifth semester (usually fall term of the junior year). Students must apply to the program through the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences by March 1 of the junior year. Their applications will be considered along with those of external applicants to the MA program. The program requires the completion of thirty-eight courses, six courses beyond the thirty-two required for completion of the BA. These six courses will not be counted toward the completion of the nine courses required for the completion of the politics major. Students must complete the following: two graduate field seminars; two upper-level politics courses (taken for graduate credit with the permission of the instructor and the politics graduate director); POL 350a and 350b (Master's Project), under the direction of a member of the politics faculty. A completed master's thesis will be accepted for simultaneous consideration for undergraduate honors in politics. All candidates for the combined BA/MA must complete all requirements for the program by the end of their eighth semester (for those entering as freshmen). If the requirements for the MA portion are not complete at that time, then the student is eligible only for the BA. View more details on Brandeis University .
