Where to learn more about Political Science Grad School?

Graduate School
1

<p>I'm curious to getting a masters in PoliSci, but I haven't even done any research on it, due to the fact that for the past year or two, I've been focused on being a lawyer.</p>

<p>Now I'm considering to apply to both, and would like some places I can learn more about PS Grad School. All I know so far is that a lot of schools have PhD programs rather than masters. Other than that, I have a very weak grasp on what to do in UG in order to apply for Grad School.</p>

<p>Anyways, if anyone has any websites to learn more about PoliSci Grad, or anything related to that, please post, thanks so much!</p>

<p>Talk directly with the political science professors within your undergrad political science program. Political Science is a broad area. Before you consider a grad program, you need to figure out what area of political science you want to concentrate on and you need to have an idea of what type of career you want to pursue. For example, do you want to focus on American Politics, Foreign Policy, Security and Intelligence, International Relations, etc.?
Do you want to be a professor, an analyst, work for the CIA, be a politician, reporter/journalist, etc.?</p>

<p>The first step is to take a range of different political science classes as an undergrad. Make a point to get to know some of the political science professors. Speak with them. Find a mentor within the department.</p>
