A graduate degree is required to advance in many careers today. Our department prides
itself on preparing our students to successfully apply to graduate schools and then
complete their programs. Some of our graduates specialized with advanced degrees in areas
of Political Science, but many others have pursued their interests across a wide spectrum
of fields.
Our senior course, Career and ePortfolio Workshop, provides students considering graduate study with information about the application process and supports them as they write application essays for a potential application to a school of their choice. Visiting alumni also share their advice in conversation as part of the course, giving students the benefit of real-world experiences.
Here are examples of programs that MCLA Political Science graduates are enrolled in or have recently completed:
