Master of Science in Political Science

University of Nebraska at Omaha

The MS in Political Science is a 30-credit hour program that can be earned on-campus or online. Some students enter the program with the intention of continuing on with their Ph.D., while others use the program to prepare themselves as practitioners in the fields of education, government, intelligence, law, journalism, non-profit, or lobbying. Most of our students are working professionals, and as part-time students, complete the program in about three years.
The programs offer a broad foundation in Political Science with a high degree of interdisciplinary collaboration if desired. Our program offers the flexibility to incorporate interests in other disciplines such as communications, criminal justice, economics, geography, history, psychology, public administration, social work, sociology, and urban studies. We accept up to 12 units of credit toward your MS in Political Science from outside the department.
