The Department of Political Science welcomes a new Visiting Assistant Professor, Matthew Hodgetts, enters the second decade of the Wellman Hill Public Service Internship Program, and honors our alumna Margaret Clossey (FSM '68, BA POSC) , who will be recognized with the Distinguished Service Alumni Award during Homecoming. We have a range of events planned for the Department this year, and we continue to offer excellent courses, funded programs that provide research and career opportunities, and a range of internships and internship support. We invite you to explore the Department's webpages to learn about our plans, our degree programs, our courses, our world-class faculty, and our recent accomplishments.The Ph.D. comprehensive examination requires the student to explain, critique, integrate, and apply the arguments of the leading works in the subfield of focus, to fully describe the evolution of the subfield, and to propose new directions for research in that subfield. The purpose of this examination is to ensure that doctoral students have specialized knowledge in the field of Political Science. Upon completion of 45 hours of course work, the student must pass the Ph.D. comprehensive examinations in his or her primary and secondary subfields. In preparation, the student shall design reading lists for each examination. The student's reading lists should draw on suggestions from department faculty, course syllabi, and the M.A. Reading Lists, available on the department's web site. The student's advisor, in conjunction with faculty in the secondary subfield, must approve the lists. Test questions will be based upon an expectation that the student has thoroughly studied the works designated on his or her reading lists.
