As a result of the Tulane Renewal Plan, the Department of Political Science
has decided to suspend immediately admission to all its gradute programs, which include the 4+1 MA, the JD/MA,
the MBA/MA, and the interdepartmental Ph.D. with Latin American Studies.
Political Science has been taught at Tulane since
the 1880s, although it was not until 1940-41 that a separate department
was formed. Immediately upon that formation the graduate program
was established, with the first M.A. being awarded in 1941 and the
first Ph.D. in 1960. Students have

joined our graduate program from
all parts of the United States as well as from other parts of the
world.
Our graduate program aims to provide students
with the analytical and methodological tools necessary for understanding
the complex, volatile, and multi-faceted politics of the contemporary
world. Our goal is to develop scholars who pursue answers to important
questions about politics by drawing upon a variety of modes of inquiry,
bodies of literature, analytic strategies, and research methods
within political science, as well as tools from related disciplines.
We bring to bear on the graduate program the entire ensemble of
our faculty's expertise and resources, though we have a particular
focus on Latin American and international politics. |
