The Master of Arts in Political Science is designed to prepare students for doctoral study; those admitted are judged qualified to enter the department's doctoral programme. It is offered only under Plan B (without thesis).

Students complete at least 30 credits, including at least 24 credits in Political Science courses at the 800-900 level (PLS 800, 801 and 802 required) and no more than 6 credits in related disciplines. Two substantial research papers, normally written in graduate seminars, must be accepted by the department. An overall GPA of 3.00 is required to remain in good standing.

Graduate applicants can start in fall (late August), spring (January) or summer (May) in the MPH programme; intake terms for other graduate programmes are set by each department or program.
The graduate application fee is $75 for domestic and international applicants, with one fee per application; applicants may submit up to two applications to different graduate majors per semester. Applications are reviewed by the department or program, which sets its own deadlines.
MPH application deadlines (SOPHAS completion): fall May 18, spring October 18, summer February 15; MSU supplemental application: fall June 1, spring November 1, summer March 1.
