Our online program offers an MA in Political Science with an Option in Public Administration and Public Policy. We provide a flexible program for Âé¶¹´«Ã½ seeking employment in the following types of careers:
We offer a full range of courses so that Âé¶¹´«Ã½ can complete their M.A. in two semesters and one summer. Students who require a different pace can take just one course per semester--the choice is up to the student! You can start in fall, spring, or summer terms.
Interested in completing the program in one year? More information and a degree plan can be found here.
Our online courses are taught by Political Science faculty at EIU. We are accessible on campus, via email/video-chat, and via phone. We offer the same mentoring and opportunities to online Âé¶¹´«Ã½ as our face-to-face Âé¶¹´«Ã½. Internships and independent studies are encouraged.
Students in the online option who live near EIU's campus can also mix and match their study plan, taking electives that are face-to-face, or taking international relations classes to add a global dimension to their study plans. Online Âé¶¹´«Ã½ who can visit campus daily are also eligible for graduate assistantships.
Our Âé¶¹´«Ã½ represent a wide variety of backgrounds. Many Âé¶¹´«Ã½ have undergraduate degrees in Political Science, but we also have Âé¶¹´«Ã½ with degrees such as History, Sociology, Psychology, Economics, English, Communications, Journalism, and General Studies. Our Âé¶¹´«Ã½ are diverse in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, ideology, and class.
