Eligibility Criteria
Admission to the Ph.D. program is offered only to excellent students who have either completed an M.A. degree in political science (or its equivalent) by the time of enrolment or have completed the equivalent of a four-year B.A. with a concentration in political science by the time of enrolment. It is expected that most successful applicants will have completed or be in the process of completing an M.A. Only exceptional students will be admitted directly to the Ph.D. program from the B.A. Applicants from both levels are expected to have achieved grades averaging A- or better in their most recent degree. Applicants from the B.A. level will apply to the M.A. program but indicate on the M.A. application form that they wish to be considered for direct entry to the Ph.D. program.
