Master of Arts in Political Science

University of New Brunswick

Those who enroll in UNB’s political science graduate program gain the necessary critical thinking skills to thoughtfully participate in local and global political communities. Students learn how to make persuasive arguments while exploring contemporary political debates, social justice, war and peace, philosophical questions, and more.Our joint master's program on the Fredericton and Saint John campuses brings together some of the country’s leading scholars to help students understand the dynamics of political power, institutions, decision-making and change. Classes are kept deliberately small so that students can pursue their unique interests under the close supervision of a dedicated faculty member.Our graduates go on to pursue doctoral programs, law school and other professional programs, or embark on careers in government, international organizations, non-profit and social justice organizations.Duration: One year – research paper Two years – thesisEntry terms: Fall
