Overview
The Politics program from Catholic University of America is designed to be completed in two years of full-time study (three courses in each of the first three semesters, plus a tenth course in the spring of the second year along with the comprehensive examination).
Students with prior graduate coursework, or who take a more ambitious course load, are often able to meet the program requirements in a year and a half. And students who work full time have the option to enroll in the MA program part-time (taking one or two classes per semester); our classes are generally scheduled in the evenings to facilitate this.
Careers
Graduates of our program frequently pursue careers in public service, politics, and education--or advance in careers they had already begun in these areas. Several of our MA students have also continued their education in Ph.D. programs, either at CUA or at other nationally renowned universities.Programme Structure
Courses included:
- For the master's degree, a minimum of 30 semester hours of coursework is required. A 3.0 grade point average or better must be maintained. American Government and Political Theory students must take POL 651 and 652 (Political Theory I and Political Theory II).
