Political Science (MA)

The study of Political Science at Howard University transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries found at most other institutions of higher learning. At Howard, the study of African American and Black Diaspora politics is a treasured legacy. The Graduate Program prepares students for careers in academia and senior level research or administrative positions in the public and private sectors. We seek to retain and expand the Political Science Department’s position as a major source of political scientists concerned with issues impinging on the lives of peoples of African descent.
