Graduate students find exceptional resources at their fingertips. With a large full-time faculty, students have the opportunity for a close intellectual exchange with professors. Texas State is also a depository for federal and state government documents as well as a member of the Council of Research and Academic Libraries. Current master?s students have been successful in pursuing doctoral education, teaching careers or professional careers ranging from federal, state and local government to nonprofit organizations. The Department of Political Science, as a part of the College of Liberal Arts is dedicated to promoting student learning about fundamental theory and key concepts relevant to political science and public administration and encouraging student learning relative to the development of strong analytical skills, effective oral and written communication skills, and rigorous critical thinking skills. Throughout the course of their study, students are invited to reflect not simply on their career goals but also on what type of persons they want to become, and on their rights and duties as citizens.We are the academic home for about 800 undergraduate majors and minors and 380 graduate students. The department offers master?s degree programs in political science, public administration, and legal studies, including a paralegal studies certificate. In partnership with the Texas City and County Management Association, we offer the manager-in-residence program whereby a city manager offers mentorship to students interested in careers as public administrators. The student chapter of the International City and County Management Association gives students the opportunity to network with public service professionals. Students also get practical experience through internships with local, state and nonprofit organizations. We also house the Center for Research, Public Policy, and Training (CRPPT), the Armed Forces and Society Journal, the Journal of Critical Infrastructure Policy and, the Good Governance Worldwide Journal.
