Overview

The organization of the program is based on two convictions:

that political science is a unique subject matter that requires specialization;
that in the next generation all social sciences, including political science, will rely increasingly on systematic evidence and quantitative analysis.

Our program seeks to shape and encourage young professionals who will be ready and able to assess and contribute to this fast-changing field in a fast-changing world. We emphasize a broadly-based theoretical understanding of political behavior and institutions, coupled with the ability to carry out systematic empirical analysis.
