For advanced, more thorough study into a topic of interest in the humanities, many students choose to earn a Master of Arts. This degree confers in-depth knowledge, research ability, and the practical application of job skills upon the graduates. While the MA is a terminal degree in some fields, it can also be a prelude to earning a doctorate.

What is a Master of Arts in Politics? This degree is often an interdisciplinary study that combines art, politics, philosophy, and international studies. It provides an opportunity for students to learn about democracy and political participation and the role these play in a global society. Possible courses may cover anything from Islamic thought to human rights, international relations, finances, and economy. Commonly the student must complete a capstone project at the conclusion of the coursework.

Graduates who earn the MA in Politics can develop critical thinking skills that enable them to understand the complexities of the modern world. They also tend to have strong communication and presentation skills to promote better understanding in society.

As each college or university sets its own tuition and fees, the costs of an MA in Politics differ from school to school. Students should contact the institutions in which they are interested to discuss what expenses they may expect.

Possible careers open to students with an MA in Politics might be journalist, public official, project developer for NGOs, academic researcher, and social worker. This degree is also an excellent foundation for those who wish to continue their education and become lawyers or judges. Of course, public and private schools always have a need for teachers with a good understanding of politics.

Many colleges and universities, both local and abroad, confer an MA in Politics. Some schools offer online coursework as well, which is a great solution for students who live in remote locations.
