GRADUATE STUDY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE
Since its inception in the 1920’s, Duke University has been a major center for graduate education in political science. The Department aims, now as in earlier years, to integrate normative, empirical, theoretical, and policy concerns. More than many other Departments, it insists on breadth and well-roundedness in its graduates. At the same time, it strongly encourages and assists early concentration on professional research and publication.
Both of these goals are served by close and supportive relations with the faculty and with other students. Ordinarily about 12-15 new graduate students enter each year. The ratio of students in residence to faculty is approximately 2:1.
The Department offers a wide variety of courses for graduate students. These include seminars (300-level), limited to graduate students, and no more than 17 students, which cover basic works and theories in the four major sub-fields of the discipline. Students may also register for individualized courses of independent readings (POLSCI 399) or research (POLSCI 308). The Department maintains a fully operational computer laboratory and is a member of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research, as well as other inter-university arrangements to facilitate both qualitative and quantitative research by graduate students and faculty.
Departmental offerings are supplemented by graduate programs in other departments at Duke, including Anthropology, Economics, History, Philosophy, Public Policy, Sociology, and Statistics. Interdisciplinary programs such as the Kenan Institute for Ethics, the Program in Political Economy, and Women’s Studies are also valuable resources for graduate students in Political Science. A graduate student properly enrolled at Duke may take up to two approved courses per semester for full credit at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina Central University in Durham, or North Carolina State University in Raleigh through the Inter-Institutional Registration program. Please see: http://www.registrar.duke.edu/registrar/iimain.htm
Significant numbers of our advanced students also undertake some portion of their research and training abroad through Departmental and University programs as well as through national fellowship programs. In addition, many students participate in non-credit programs, including University Seminars such as the Seminar on Globalization and Equity, the John Hope Franklin Center, and various area studies centers.
I. Admission
Applications for admission are welcomed from candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The Department also considers applications for candidates for the two-year Master of Arts degree, though students pursuing only the Master of Arts degree are not eligible for departmental financial awards. Applicants are considered without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, political affiliation, sex, age, or physical handicaps. Competition for admission is very strong and admissions decisions are made by a committee of the Department, in consultation with the Graduate School, on merit and promise and with a view to diversity of interests and backgrounds.
Applicants must offer verbal, quantitative and analytical aptitude scores on the Graduate Record Examination. Ordinarily, applicants will have earned the BA or BS degree with at least twelve undergraduate semester hours in political science. Three letters of recommendation and an undergraduate transcript are also required. A 10-20 page writing sample is requested.
Priority deadline: applications must be post-marked no later than December 31st of the calendar year prior to admission, and must reach the Graduate School within 14 days of this post-mark. Otherwise they will not be processed until all on-time applications have been handled. Application fee is $75 (reduced to $65 if application is received by December 1). Applicants seeking financial aid should submit applications as early as possible. Applications for Spring semester are not encouraged but are considered in exceptional cases. Further information about the Graduate School, may be obtained from the first website at the end of this paragraph. The Graduate School prefers to receive applications electronically. Application information and forms may be obtained from the Enrollment Services Office from the second website. However, you may request a hard-copy application package from the Office of Graduate Admissions, Box 90065, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708-0065, USA.

II. The Ph.D. Program
The focus of the Department’s graduate program is on the Ph.D. Degree. Normally, students should not come to this department if they only seek a Masters degree. The Ph.D. requirements are summarized in a checklist, which should be maintained for every graduate student and updated at least annually. The requirements as explained in more detail in the checklist are summarized below.
Summary of Requirements for the Ph.D.
In brief summary, the requirements for the Ph.D. are as follows:
1. Courses. Students must complete 15 courses, eleven of which must be in political science, and eight of which must be taken in the Department. At least two courses must be from related departments outside of political science at Duke or elsewhere. Graduate-level courses taken in other departments at Duke, or at other universities, may be credited, at the discretion of the Director of Graduate Studies (hereinafter DGS) in consultation with relevant faculty.
2. Skill requirements. Students must normally take basic research methods, involving two courses, including statistics, and one foreign language. With the approval of the DGS, students may substitute: a) intensive research methods, involving four courses in research methods; or b) two foreign languages (or advanced study of a difficult foreign language)..
3. Political philosophy requirement. This requirement is fulfilled either through two Duke courses or by examination
4. Distribution requirement. This requirement is fulfilled through at least three courses in each of the two traditional subfields (American politics, comparative politics, international relations, political theory).
5. At least three courses must be successfully completed in each of the preliminary examination fields.
6. A seminar paper must be completed with a grade of G+ or better.
7. Successful completion of a thesis field. Students must write a theme paper drawing on at least four courses from two or more subfields or disciplines.
8. Students must pass the Preliminary Examination.
9. Students must complete a satisfactory dissertation and pass the examination on that dissertation.
How these requirements are fulfilled is best explained by summarizing what students are expected to do during the course of their years at Duke. Details are available through the checklist, and from the Assistant to the Director of Graduate Studies (hereinafter DGSA).
The Program of Study
1st year: Students normally take four graduate courses each semester. Each semester, each student will take one seminar requiring a research paper. The DGS will meet with each incoming student before classes begin to discuss her or his plans. At that time, the DGS will assign the student a faculty advisor for the first year. In thinking about their course work, students should keep in mind the following considerations:
(1) Field seminars in the traditional substantive fields (American politics, comparative politics, international relations, political philosophy) are not offered every year. Students should enroll in the field seminars for fields that they are considering as possible first or second fields for their preliminary exams.
(2) Methodology courses are taught in sequence, and all students need to plan their courses so as to build competence for their subsequent higher-level work in methodology.
(3) It is particularly important for graduate students to work from the outset with regular faculty of the Department. Students should therefore choose their courses with a view toward familiarizing themselves with particular faculty members, as well as on the basis of subject matter.
(4) At the end of the first year, students should have taken a variety of substantive courses, sufficient for them to decide on the fields they propose to offer in their preliminary examinations. They should also have begun systematic training in appropriate methodologies, in view of their substantive interests.
Students in their first year who are being supported by Duke University fellowships are expected, on request from the DGS, to apply for fellowship support from outside sources (such as the National Science Foundation) during the fall of their first year. Duke University assistance will be adjusted downwards for those students receiving outside support; but no student will be disadvantaged financially as a result of receiving outside support, whether complete or partial.
By May 1 of the first year, each student will file a checklist of requirements completed, and plans for completion of other requirements, with the DGSA. This checklist will also indicate the student’s plans to complete the requirements and the faculty advisor that the student requests for his or her second year.
At the end of the year, the Faculty will meet to evaluate the performance of first-year students. As a result of this evaluation, the DGS will inform students of their status in the program, and offer advice for future plans. In carrying out this evaluation, the DGS and the faculty will look especially closely at the number of incompletes that a student has. Students having more than two incompletes at the end of the first year of work may be regarded as not making satisfactory progress in the program.
2nd year: Students are expected to take four graduate courses each semester, except for the semester in which they teach (in which they take three courses).
During the second year of residence, students are expected to complete their last two required semesters of course work, at least begin work on their theme papers, and begin to learn to teach at the college level.
Unless students apply for and receive an exemption from the DGS, all students in good standing will have completed at least fifteen (15) graduate-level courses by the beginning of their fifth semester in residence. Two of these courses must normally be chosen from among offerings in political philosophy. The distribution requirement must also be met: each student must take at least three courses from at least two of the four traditional substantive fields (American politics, comparative politics, international relations, political philosophy).
During the second year, students are also expected to specify their theme concentrations. This involves choosing an appropriate theme area, selecting four courses from at least two fields or disciplines constituting the course work for the theme, and choosing a topic of the theme paper. The faculty seeks to encourage creativity on the part of students by encouraging students to make connections among work in different subfields of political science, or between political science and another discipline. The theme concentration is meant to be an integral part of the second year of the program, not a mere “add-on” to the requirements. It is expected that faculty members teaching research seminars will encourage second-year students, in particular, to write papers that link work from two different subfields or disciplines and that therefore qualify as theme papers.
Finally, during the second year, students begin to teach in the Department. All students who are teaching for the first time will take the seminar for teaching assistants offered by the Department.
At the end of the second year of residence, each student will once again fill out the checklist, indicating her or his progress toward meeting the requirements, with special attention to the theme paper. Students who have not filed the checklist by May 1 of their second year will not be eligible to continue in the program, unless the omission is rectified and special permission given by the DGS.
At the end of the year, the Faculty will meet to evaluate the performance of second-year students. As a result of this evaluation, the DGS will inform students of their status in the program, and offer advice for future plans.
3rd year: Students normally complete the theme requirements by the beginning of their third year in residence, at the latest. To be admitted to the preliminary examination, a student must have completed the following requirements, unless he or she has received an exemption from the DGS.
(1) Completion of four semesters of course work, involving at least fifteen (15) courses;
(2) Completion of the relevant skills requirements, the political philosophy requirement, and the distribution requirements;
(3) Completion of the theme concentration requirement, including completion of a scholarly paper demonstrating the student’s ability to do scholarly work across fields of political science, or involving another discipline as well as political science.
The theme paper must be approved by faculty members from two fields, including at least one faculty member who is a member of the preliminary examination committee, and the DGS. The paper must be submitted at least 30 days before the anticipated date of preliminary exams. The theme requirements must be completed before the student takes the preliminary examination.
When the above requirements have been completed, a student is eligible to take the preliminary examination, scheduled for September, January, and April. Members of the preliminary examination committee are chosen by the DGS in consultation with the student. By Graduate School rule, the preliminary examination committee is to be composed of members of the dissertation committee. In practice, the preliminary examination committee is provisionally designated as the dissertation committee, but changes in the composition of the dissertation committee can be freely made after the preliminary exam. Normally, the chair of the preliminary examination committee is the person expected to serve as chair of the student’s dissertation committee.
Students must take their preliminary examinations by April of their third year in residence, unless given a special exemption by the DGS. Students should consult about timing with their advisors, since individual situations differ. Some students may be well advised to take their preliminary exams in September of the third year, in order to concentrate on their dissertation work. In other cases, it may be wiser for a student to work on his or her dissertation in the summer and fall of the third year, in order to be able to submit a proposal for funding research during the following year. In this case the student would take the preliminary exam in January or April of the third year.
Students will submit the checklist, fully completed, to the DGSA by thirty days before they expect to take the preliminary examination. This form will indicate the faculty member whom the student has asked to be chair of his or her dissertation committee. This form will be available to the members of the preliminary examination committee.
On completion of the exam, the members of the preliminary examination committee vote. By Graduate School rule, passing the preliminary examination requires three affirmative votes, including the vote of the chair, and not more than one negative vote. When the voting has been completed, the members of the committee will complete a form, indicating the student’s performance on the examination. All members of the committee are to sign the form. A student who fails both parts of the written examination cannot take the oral exam. Failure to pass the exam as a whole in either field constitutes failure of the exam, requiring the student to retake the entire exam. A second failure in any portion of the exam will render the student ineligible to continue in the doctoral program.
At the end of the year, the Faculty will meet to evaluate the performance of third year students. As a result of this evaluation, the DGS will inform students of their status in the program, and offer advice for future plans. Students who have not taken their preliminary examinations will normally be asked to leave the program. Students who have taken but not passed their exams will be required to retake them in September.
Admission to Candidacy
To be admitted to candidacy, a student who has passed the preliminary examination must have his or her dissertation prospectus approved. This process begins with a short draft dissertation prospectus. This prospectus may be submitted at the time of the preliminary examination, and in any case should be submitted to the Chair of the Dissertation Committee within 60 days of that examination, unless an exemption is given by the DGS. This prospectus should be discussed with the chair of the student’s committee, and with other members of the committee, and revised after consultation. It should be emphasized that this version need not constitute a complete research design. It is meant to be the beginning of a process of innovation and collaboration
After the student has consulted with his or her chair about the proposal, they will agree on how the student’s committee should be reconstituted to form the Dissertation Committee. There must be at least four members of each dissertation committee, all of whom must be members of the Graduate Faculty unless the DGS and the Graduate School agree to an exception. At least three members of the committee must be members of the Department, unless permission is given by the DGS for an exemption to this rule. One member of the committee is to be in the student’s minor field, while three members are to be in the student’s major field. After the student has consulted with each member of the committee, the committee as a whole shall hold a consultation with the student, at which at least three members of the committee must be present, in person or by teleconference.
When a student has completed his or her final dissertation consultation, the chair of the dissertation committee shall submit a form to the DGSA, so attesting. This form shall be signed by the other members of the committee present, and any member of the committee not present shall indicate his or her concurrence by other means.
After this step has been taken, the only remaining requirement for the Ph.D. is completion of a satisfactory dissertation, which must then be defended before the dissertation committee. Three affirmative votes, including the vote of the chair of the dissertation committee, are required for acceptance of a dissertation. Upon completion of the dissertation exam, faculty members will complete a form, which each of them will sign, indicating the result.
Students progressing well in the Ph.D. program will receive M.A. degrees after completion of fifteen (15) courses, writing a seminar-length paper with a grade of G+ or better, completing the skill requirements in statistics or a foreign language, and passing the preliminary examination.
The terminal degree of Master of Arts, for those who do not intend to continue with doctoral studies, is awarded to students who meet the Graduate School’s residence requirements who successfully complete the following: 1) ten one semester courses of 3 units each, at least half of which must be in political science; 2) either an M.A. thesis or two seminar-length research papers done for Duke political science courses with a grade of G+ or above; 3) demonstration of competence in one foreign language or in statistics; 4) passing an oral exam in which the student explicates and defends the M. A. thesis or the two research papers. Up to 6 units of ungraded research may be substituted for two courses with the written approval of the Director of Graduate Studies, but in no case will a student receive an M.A. degree without four graduate courses in political science at Duke. The requirements for this degree are different from those for the J.D./M.A. joint degree, whose requirements are stated in the next paragraph..
Students at the Law School earning an M.A. degree in Political Science along with their J.D. degree, may take four courses (twelve credits) in Political Science as part of their required 84 credits for the J.D. To be eligible to receive the M.A., they must complete four additional courses in Political Science, for a total of eight. The courses chosen must be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies. Unless exceptions are made, four of the courses must cluster in one of the major sub-field of political science (American politics, comparative politics, international relations, political theory). At least two courses in political science must be chosen from some other sub-field of the discipline. At least four of the eight courses must be graduate seminars. By May 1 of the first year, the J.D.M.A. candidate must submit a brief essay of not more than 500 words indicating the relevance of the courses he or she plans to take to his or her study of the law. To receive the Joint J.D.M.A. degree, students are required to write a master's thesis or submit two seminar papers suitably revised to qualify for degree credit, and to pass an oral examination primarily devoted to their written work.
Students who are pursuing only the M.A. degree are not eligible for departmental financial assistance.
IV. Skill Requirements for the M.A. and Ph.D. Degrees
Candidates for the M.A. degree must demonstrate competence in one foreign language or in statistics. Candidates for the Ph.D. normally must demonstrate competence in one foreign language and in statistics. Students can, however, petition the DGS to satisfy their skill requirements through one of two other options: two foreign languages (or four semesters of a difficult foreign language such as Ancient Greek, Chinese, or Japanese) and no statistics, or four quantitatively-oriented methodology courses and no foreign language. Approval by the DGS for a student to pursue one of these options is based on relevance to the student’s fields of study, dissertation plan and future career plans. Such permission must be sought well in advance of when the student intends to take preliminary exams. Students are urged to satisfy the skill requirements as early as possible. If a doctoral student fails to demonstrate competency in even one language by the end of the third semester of residence, registration in the appropriate special reading course(s) is encouraged.
Foreign Language proficiency can be established in one of the following ways:
1. A grade of B (or G) or higher in each of two semesters of a foreign-language course or in research language training or intensive foreign language courses requiring an equivalent level of knowledge taken at either the graduate or undergraduate level, at Duke or elsewhere. The course must have been taken within two years of matriculation in the Political Science graduate program at Duke. The student is responsible for showing the DGS that these conditions were met by the course.
2. Certification of proficiency (comparable to that in 1 above) by the instructor of a foreign language reading course for graduate students conducted by a Duke language department.
3. In special circumstances, with the approval of the DGS, certification can be achieved by a special exam prepared by a faculty member in the Political Science department. Such an examination must include both a portion testing the student’s ability to summarize a text (such as a newspaper article) without the assistance of a dictionary and a portion requiring translation of a social science text with the assistance of a dictionary. Both portions of the examination will be taken under a reasonable time constraint. Such an examination will certify the student if the faculty member conducting the exam deems it to show a level of proficiency similar to that attained by students under 1, or 2 above.
4. In the case of foreign students whose native language is not English or students who have lived for long periods abroad in non-English speaking countries, language proficiency can be certified by the DGS upon petition.
The following decision rules are used to exempt graduate students from the department’s statistics requirements:
Exemption from Introductory Statistics (POLSCI 222); a student can be exempted from this course if: (a) he/she received a grade of "G+" or better in a graduate-level introductory statistics course at another university, or (b) he/she received a grade of "B+" or better in two or more undergraduate statistics courses. Students will need to submit a course syllabus (or equivalent information about content) in order to claim an exemption.
Exemption from Introductory Econometrics (POLSCI 233): for this exemption, a student must receive a grade of "G+" or better in a graduate-level econometrics course taken at another university. In addition, at the discretion of the faculty member assigned to evaluate requests for exemptions, the student may be asked to complete a typical final exam for POLSCI 233. In general, a grade on the exam of "G" or better is necessary for an exemption. Requests for exemptions from courses beyond Introductory Econometrics will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
V. Expenses and Financial Assistance[1]
Full-time PhD students are charged the flat rate of Tuition each semester for six semesters (3 years), as well as the Continuation Health and Recreation fees, Medical Insurance, and student government dues. In addition, a one-time Transcript fee is charged in the fall semester of matriculation. After six semesters, the students are charged only the Registration, Health and Recreation fees and student government dues. Approved transfer of an earned master’s degree will reduce the minimum doctoral registration to 5 semesters of full-time tuition.
Part-time PhD students are charged ½ the flat Tuition rate and full Registration, Health and Activity fees and student government dues.
Masters and Non-degree Students are charged per unit as well as the Registration, Health, Activity fees, and student government dues.
Part-time PhD, Masters, and Non-degree Students are charged a one-time Transcript fee in the fall semester of matriculation.
Masters degree students are required to pay for at least 30 units of registration.
A high proportion of the Department’s graduate students receive financial support, in one of six forms:
(1) James B. Duke Fellowships;
(2) fellowships and assistantships of the Graduate School or of interdisciplinary programs, including awards to minority students of U.S. citizenship, to foreign students, and to students in such fields as international and area studies;
(3) instructional assistantships in large undergraduate courses;
(4) loans, including those available through the National Direct Student Loan (NDSL) program;
(5) Departmental fellowships and assistantships, awarded out of the Department’s general Graduate School allocation; and
(6) fellowships from outside sources such as NSF, Ford, and SSRC. In addition, grants to assist specific aspects of graduate students’ research, training, and conference participation, are generally available during the academic year and the summer, on a competitive basis, from the Graduate School and Departmental funds.
Approximately sixty James B. Duke Fellowships are awarded annually to entering students through a University-wide competition. Nominations come from the Department; the student cannot apply directly. J.B. Duke Fellowships pay, in addition to tuition and fees, a generous income stipend. Further details are available in the Bulletin of Duke University on Graduate Studies.
The fellowships and assistantships offered directly by the Graduate School and by various interdisciplinary programs also require, in most cases, nomination by the Department, but interested applicants should not hesitate to communicate directly with the Associate Dean of the Graduate School or with the directors of specific programs. Applications from minority students are specifically encouraged. Again, the Bulletin should be consulted.
After one year of course work (or, for students already holding the MA from elsewhere, one semester of work at Duke), students are eligible to serve as instructional assistants. The Department gives priority to its own students. Appointments are by the Department Chair, on recommendation of the DGS, after consultation with the faculty members conducting the courses that require instructional assistants. Assistantship salaries are considered part of a student’s financial assistance package. An instructional assistant normally leads two sections and may not lead more than four.
Loans for graduate education are available, often on favorable terms, from many state agencies, through the guaranteed student loan program, and under the NDSL program. Further details are available from the Graduate School.
The most common form of support for doctoral students is the departmental fellowship or assistantship, which is granted by the Department’s Committee on Graduate Admissions and Awards. Students pursuing only the M.A. degree are not eligible for such awards. To apply, a student need only indicate on the Graduate School application that he or she wants to be considered for financial aid. Each year a number of outstanding applicants are offered full support tuition, fees, and a stipend calculated to meet living expenses on the basis of merit alone. Others are offered a wider range of assistance on the basis of both merit and need, and the Department reserves the right to request disclosure of financial status as a condition for the award of assistance. All U.S. applicants for financial aid should therefore submit after April 15, through the Educational Testing Service, the FAFSA form. The code for graduate studies is E00165; website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov
. All Departmental financial assistance is of course conditional on the future availability of funds, which cannot be predicted with certainty from year to year. Initial Departmental awards are normally for a term of five years, contingent on satisfactory performance. In recent experience, all first-year appointees have been continued, at or above the stipend level of the preceding year, through their 5th year of graduate study. Students also often receive some support after their 5th year of residence.
A student who initially receives no assistance from the Department may also apply for support during the spring review for funding beginning in their second year; and the Committee on Admissions and Awards may then recommend that support be granted to students who have performed exceptionally well. These awards are renewable, as outlined above.
Every Departmental award is subject to termination if, in the judgment of the Faculty its holder has ceased to make satisfactory progress toward the degree.
. The Department can only maintain a thriving graduate program at current levels of enrollment if some students receive outside funding, since University resources are insufficient. The Department therefore strongly urges all students on Departmental funding to seek such outside support, and provides advice on how to apply for grants from the National Science Foundation and other relevant potential sources of funding. Our philosophy is that doing so constitutes a contribution to the common good. If our students actively pursue outside funding, a sufficient proportion will succeed to enable the program as a whole to thrive.
In line with this philosophy, if a student wins a non-Departmental award that is equal to or lower than his or her Departmental award, the non-Departmental award normally replaces Departmental funding, so that the student’s total funding package remains the same. If a student wins a non-Departmental award that is higher than his or her Departmental award, the student receives only the non-Departmental funding. However, the Director of Graduate Studies will keep account of students’ success in obtaining non-Departmental funding when considering requests for other support, such as summer research funding and payment of continuation fees beyond the fifth year of graduate study.
By University regulation, no awards from the Graduate School allocation can be made after May 15.
Further information is available from the DGS or from the Associate Dean for Admissions in the Graduate School.
VI. Placement
The Department actively assists in placing its graduates, both in the academic job market and in public and private research and administration.
