Degrees

As stated in the introductory paragraphs of this announcement, the graduate program of the Department of Government is designed for students preparing for the PhD. Those seeking to enroll for the AM degree only will not be admitted. Active PhD candidates who wish to be awarded an AM in the course of their work towards the PhD must meet all the requirements for the PhD except the dissertation and the special examination.

Students who have met all the requirements for the PhD except the General Examination, the dissertation, and the special examination may also receive the Master of Arts in Political Science provided they state in writing that they shall not pursue the PhD degree any further. This option is available only within the 30 months after first matriculation.

Degrees are conferred three times during the academic year: in November, March, and at Commencement in June. Relevant due dates for degree application are published annually in The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Handbook.
