Sanderson. *These members of the faculty of Florida Atlantic University are also members of the graduate faculty of the University and participate in the doctoral degree program in the University of Florida Department of Political Science. The Department of Political Science offers the Master of Arts degree with both a thesis and a nonthesis option and the Doctor of Philosophy degree in political science or international relations. The Master of Arts in Teaching degree is also offered with a major in political science or international relations. The areas of specialization offered by the department for the Ph.D., M.A., and M.A.T. include American government and politics, comparative politics, interna- tional relations, public administration, public law, political theory, interdisciplinary urban problems, and political behavior and methodology. In addition, the department's offerings include work taken in coopera- tion with the Center for African Studies and with the Center for Latin American Studies. Programs composed from these areas can be used to prepare students for careers in teaching, research, and government service. The department also offers a specialized M.A. program -in political science with an emphasis in public administration. Admission to graduate study in the Department of Political Science normally requires the completion of an undergraduate major in political science or its equivalent. Students without this preparation will be required to make up deficiencies early in their graduate work. All degree programs, except for the special program em- phasizing public administration, require evidence of a year of satisfactory work in an approved foreign language. Admission to the M.A. programs offered in the depart- ment is normally restricted to the fall semester. International Relations, a field of specialization leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, is offered in programs through the Department of Political Science. For the M.A. the requirements are 30 credit hours with thesis or 36 credit hours without thesis. For the Ph.D. the student has the option of taking 1) four fields of political science and a single or composite minor, or 2) three fields of political science (plus two graduate courses in a fourth field) and two minor fields or a composite minor. Public Administration. The curriculum consists of seminars in planning, public administration, and public law and recommended courses in statistics, accounting, economics, sociology,, geography, and public works engineering. Supervised internships in selected agencies in Florida are arranged by the Department of Political Science as an integral part of the training program. The program requires 40 hours of course work. There is no foreign language requirement. Judicial administration, a field of specialization with the public administration curriculum, is designed to meet the increasing demands for professional court manage- ment in the judicial system. Students take the same courses required for public administration, but concen- trate their electives in the court management courses offered by the Department of Political Science and other departments. Supervised summer internships are ar- ranged with area courts, and students may choose to combine judicial administration with a law degree in the joint degree program, described below. Law/Public Administration Joint Degree Program. A four-year program leading to a Juris Doctor and a Master of Arts in political science-public administration is offered under the joint auspices of the Graduate School (College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Department of
