What you'll study
The MA program is 30 credits and its curriculum is organized along five tracks or principal fields: (1) Crime and Justice Studies; (2) Global and Comparative Processes; (3) Public Policy Analysis; (4) Health, Society and Policy; and (5) Global Migration and Refugee Studies.
Students may work with the faculty in their area of interest if it does not fit neatly into one of the standard tracks. In addition to core courses, students take 18 credits of elective courses, 3 of which can be satisfied by the thesis option. To fulfill the requirements for one of the tracks, students must take at least three courses within the track and pass these courses with a minimum grade of "B" or better.
