About the Department


Undergraduate Programs

Offered at both our Hattiesburg and Gulf Coast Liberal Arts Buildingcampuses, the department's three undergraduate degrees provide students with a solid, liberal arts background and the chance to specialize in American Government, American Studies, Law and Administration, Paralegal Studies, Global Politics, or Theory and Methods. These Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree programs provide an excellent background for students considering law school, graduate school, management training programs, work in the public sector, or a position with a non-profit. All of our degree plans are noteworthy for the variety of course offerings, high level of personal contact with the faculty, and the integration of active learning methods into many of the courses.

Graduate Programs in Political Science
and International Policy and Development

The Master of Arts & Master of Science degrees are available at both the Hattiesburg and Gulf Coast campuses. The programs feature small class sizes and substantial opportunities for independent research. Graduate seminars are typically small (rarely larger than 15 students per section) and focus on development of student abilities in the areas of critical analysis and writing. Students select two areas of focus from among the department's four specialities: American Politics, Global Politics, Law and Administration, or Theory and Methods.

Most courses offered within the International Development Ph.D. Program include the content and academic milestones of a traditional on-campus doctoral program, but in a more flexible delivery format. IDV Ph.D. Program.
