What is a Master in Civics? A Master in Civics involves the practical and political aspects of citizenship. This includes civil laws and codes, the duties of citizens and political or ethical tradition.

The cost to earn a master’s degree in civics depends on several factors, including which school the student attends and where that school is located. The number of credit hours required also factors into the cost.
