Overview
What you will study
All fields of study in the Political Science program at Texas A&M University involve the role of incentives, institutions, and strategies in the aggregation of preferences and ultimately the allocation of resources.
Major fields of study mirror the disciplinary norm: American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, Political Theory, and Public Administration/Public Policy. All students must also declare two minor fields from the list above or substitute Advanced Research Methodology or Race, Ethnic, and Gender Politics.
This requirement - as well as the departmental norm of cooperative instruction between representatives of traditional subfields and the flexibility granted graduate committees to (re)structure training for our doctoral students - reflects the department's shared belief that the most fruitful avenues of new research cross traditional subfield or disciplinary lines.
