The M.A. in Political Science offers three areas of concentration—International Relations and the United Nations, International Justice Studies, and American Government and Politics. Grounded in the theoretical and applied knowledge of the discipline of political science, the program’s flexibility permits students to choose related and approved courses from the disciplines of criminal justice and history, as well as approved cross-listed courses in a variety of other disciplines. International Relations and the United Nations and International Justice Studies are multidisciplinary concentrations which invite students to further explore the meaning of global citizenship, the practice of diplomacy, relations among states, the functions of international systems, and the processes of globalization, taking advantage of Fairleigh Dickinson University’s unique “Special Consultative Status” as a nongovernmental organization with the U.N. Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), its membership in the U.N. Academic Impact, its accreditation by the U.N. Department of Public Affairs, and its relations with numerous diplomatic missions.

Encourage them to vote in a way that will benefit their clients. Political campaign manager – You will be responsible for all aspects of promoting a political party or candidate for local or national elections. You will hire, supervise, and delegate various tasks to campaign staff and volunteers. By analysing political polls, you will organise the campaign strategy, and that involves marketing, communications, PR, and fundraising. Campaign managers are in charge of everything their candidate says or does. Career politician– If you manage to gather enough support for your ideas, you can run for a place in Congress or Parliament. But you'll first have to prove yourself and convince others you deserve their vote. Political consultant – Government officials don't make decisions on their own. They need advice from experts, and that’s where you come in. Political consultants make strategies for implementing political projects while also taking into account the impact of public perception.
