Description:

The Master of Applied Politics (MAP) program is a hands-on graduate program grounded in the discipline of political science.

Students learn real-world skills — such as policy, electoral and media analysis, survey instrument design, and problem solving in domestic and international contexts — and gain practical experience in placements with community organizations, local politicians and government agencies.

Prerequisites:

Additional Admission Requirements:
  • Letter(s) of Reference
  • Statement of Research Interests
Applicants are required to have a four-year (honours) undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in political science or a related field, and a minimum B+ average in your last two years of undergraduate study. An honours graduate from a program other than political science may be admitted if evidence justifying admission is offered and the student has completed a minimum of two courses in political science, one of which must have a social science theory component; research methods is strongly recommended. Applications are reviewed by the graduate program committee, which considers all prior university grades, statement of interests, a writing sample and letters of reference.
