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.

Since the turn of the millennium religious ideas and identities have increasingly shaped national and international politics, especially in the Middle East. This online MA program – led by Prof. Jonathan Fox, one of the world’s foremost experts in the field – provides a unique platform for understanding the role of religion in contemporary politics. We explore the potential of religions to unite and divide societies, to exacerbate conflict, or provide frameworks for peace. Whether you are planning a career in academia, policy research, diplomacy, conflict resolution, or the clergy, or whether you simply have a passion to understand the social forces that shape our world, this program is for you. This two-year, online MA program will provide you with a deep academic grounding in religious and Middle Eastern politics as well as in general political science. The program is taught entirely in English by leading experts. There are approximately six hours of online teaching each week, and the program is open to students anywhere in the world. We consider both religious politics and Middle Eastern politics important topics of study within political science. This program uniquely combines these topics, which include a broad survey of Middle Eastern politics as well as religious politics both in the Middle East and outside of the Middle East. At the same time, we provide courses that cover basic political science theory and methodology. Thus, while this course of study has a unique focus, it will also provide a broad foundation in the general discipline of political science. Bar-Ilan University’s Political Science Department is uniquely situated to provide this course of study. Its faculty is part of a 40+ year tradition of expertise and excellence in religious and Middle Eastern politics and includes world-class researchers and instructors on these topics. The department is also home to premier research centers and projects, which focus on these issues. These include the Religion and State Project, the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, the Middle East’s premier national security think tank, and the Argov Center for the Study of Israel and the Jewish People.
