Three degrees are offered in each program: Master of Arts in Teaching (nonthesis), Master of Arts (thesis or nonthesis option), and Doctor of Philosophy. Admission to graduate study in the Department of Politi- cal Science normally requires the completion of an under- graduate major in political science or its equivalent. Stu- dents without this preparation will be required to make up deficiencies early in their graduate work. All degree pro- grams, except for the special programs emphasizing public administration and political campaigning, require evidence of a year of satisfactory work in an approved foreign language. Admission to the programs offered in the Department is normally restricted to the fall semester. 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, international relations, public administration, political theory and political behav- ior. In addition, the Department's offerings include work taken in cooperation with theCenterforAfrican Studies and with the Center for Latin American Studies. Programs composed for these areas can be used to prepare students for careers in teaching, research, and government service. The Department also offers specialized M.A. curricula in political science emphasizing public administration and political campaigning. International Relations is a field of specialization that may be pursued either as part of the regular degree pro- grams in political science or through an interdisciplinary political science-international relations degree program. The political science-international relations degree is designed to provide professional education to those whose primary interest is a career in foreign relations, whether in the public or private sector. Requirements for the M.A. are an interdisciplinary core of 12 credits and 27 credits in three discipline-based tracks. Two of the three tracks must be in political science, whilethethird may be chosen from awide range of other disciplines, including economics, journal- ism, agriculture, statistics, area studies, and computer sci- ences. Students in this M.A. program select the nonthesis option. For the Ph.D., the student must complete the requirements for the M.A. and then has the option of taking (1) either three fields in political science or (2) two fields in political science and a third in another discipline. PublicAdministration.-The curriculum consists of semi- nars in political science, public administration, and re- search methods, and recommended courses in accounting, economics, management, urban planning, and public works engineering. Supervised internships in selected agencies in Florida are arranged bythe Department of Political Science as an integral part of the training program. This specializa- tion requires 36 hours of course work plus satisfactory completion of a 3-hour internship at the discretion of the Department. There is no foreign language requirement. Students in this specialization select the nonthesis option in political science. In addition to the M.A. degree in political science, students receive the Certificate in PublicAdminis- tration. Political Campaigning.-Students take a total of 36 hours from four major areas: (1) the core courses required of all M.A. students, (2) courses oriented to practical aspects of political campaigning, (3) courses which place campaign- ing in the broader context of American politics, and (4) related courses offered by the College of Journalism and Communications. In addition to the 36 hours of course work, students must complete a campaign-related intern- ship and pass a comprehensive examination. Students in this specialization select the nonthesis option and no foreign language is required. In addition tothe M.A. degree in political science, students receive the Certificate in Political Campaigning. 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 College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' Department of Political Science and the College of Law. The program provides students interested in law and public service with the opportunity to blend relevant work in public administration, political science, and law. Stu- dents must meet the entrance requirements of both the College of Law and the graduate program in political science (public administration). A thesis is not required. Interested students should apply to both the Holland Law Center and to the Graduate School, noting on the applica- tion the joint nature of their admission request. Admission to the two degree programs must be simultaneous. Further information on the program is available from the Holland Law Center and from the Department of Political Science. For further information and detailed requirements, pro- spective students are invited to write for the department brochure on graduate programs in political science.
