A Commitment to Excellence

The Ph.D. program in Politics seeks to train students to assume faculty positions at a range of institutions of higher education and supports students pursuing a range of substantive research in the discipline. If you ask graduate students to identify the program’s strengths, they will mention:

  • An across-the-board commitment to excellence in research and teaching.
  • Respect for a variety of methods and approaches to political research.
  • A strong sense of community among both faculty and graduate students.
  • Unparalleled institutional support for research, ranging from one of the finest university libraries in the world to abundant resources for data collection, field work and conference travel.
