GRADUATE PROGRAM The graduate program in political science reflects the distinctive strengths of Johns Hopkins University, where graduate education holds a central place in the life of an attractive urban campus and graduate students from several departments in the social sciences and humanities form a vibrant intellectual community. The Hopkins' Department promotes interdependence between American politics and law, comparative politics, international relations and political theory. Our objective is to be a place where faculty and graduate students are fluent in theory and many contribute to the global and comparative dimensions of politics. This objective is reflected in the range of the faculty, with most members contributing to more than one field and several engaged actively with colleagues and graduate students in other departments. Our program is well suited to students who seek rigorous training, pursue large questions about politics, and aspire to develop strength in more than one field. We also encourage students to do some work in allied departments such as anthropology, the Humanities Center, history, philosophy, economics or the Institute for Policy Studies. A broad gauge program speaks to the future teaching responsibilities of students as well as the scholarship appropriate to the future. For political research in the next few decades will increasingly study the United States comparatively, explore connections between contemporary global politics and the durable interests of political theory, and solidify lines of convergence between international relations and comparative politics.
