Combined BA in Political Science/MPP
Similar to the BA/MPA degree, the BA/MPP degree program substitutes 12 graduate-level credits from the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration for upper-division undergraduate courses, allowing students to complete the degree on a shorter timeline. Students must obtain advisor approval for their 12 chosen credits.
How to Apply
Students interested in the dual degree program should confer with the department's graduate adviser early in their junior year. Once students have completed 60 undergraduate credits, they may proceed with the CCAS Combined Degree Application Form. GRE scores are not required. In addition to the form, the Department of Political Science requires students to submit to the department office:
- A statement of purpose
- A letter of recommendation from a current faculty member
- A résumé or CV
Course Requirements
All requirements for both the Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and the Master of Arts in Political Science degrees must be fulfilled.
