The Department of Political Science
Coordinated by a Faculty Advisory Board.
Political economy is central to all the social sciences. The objective of the Political Economy Graduate Interdisciplinary Studies Program is to offer graduate students the opportunity to study political economy across disciplines. This enriches the student's disciplinary training and is necessary for more holistic research. Finally, the completion of the program can be useful in seeking employment, as a specialization in political economy is frequently a central or important component of positions across the social sciences.
