For most students, arriving at a course of study in political science will involve selection of two focus fields from among five fields:

• American Politics
• Comparative Politics
• International Relations
• Political Methodology
• Political Theory

in addition to a course-out minor from either one of the above fields, a graduate interdisciplinary specialization or a graduate minor. Students may also choose one or more departmental specializations in the fields:

• Formal Theory
• Political Economy
• Political Psychology
• Race, Ethnicity, and Gender

More individualized programs emphasizing either breadth or depth may be developed in consultation with an academic advisor.
