Overview

Students have the option of enrolling in a traditional Political Science program at Lehigh University or applying to the Community Fellows program. Students who are interested in continuing their graduate experience beyond the master’s level, teaching in a community college or high school, or working in a private company are encouraged to pursue the traditional track.

Key facts

Students who would like to pursue a career in a state of local public service agency or engage in nonprofit work may wish to pursue the Community Fellows program, where a student will work for a 15 hours per week in a local agency on a project related to community development. Regardless of track option, there is a particular emphasis on a close faculty-student interaction in classes and on projects with local or regional partners.

Programme Structure

What you'll gain:

In order to complete the Master of Arts program, students must complete 30 credit hours (a research methods course plus 27 additional credits).

A comprehensive examination, research project, or thesis is also required.

Students will work closely with the director of graduate studies in order to devise a curriculum plan.
