Masters Program

The Master of Arts in Political Science may only be pursued in combination with a doctoral degree from another department within Stanford University or with an advanced degree from one of Stanford University's professional schools (Schools of Law, Medicine, Business). The M.A. in Political Science requires home department approval and is only offered as a dual degree, not a joint degree. The Political Science department does not offer an M.A. degree for external applicants.

External applicants interested in a Master's degree are encouraged to look into the Ford Dorsey Masters in International Policy.
