Master Programs in Social Sciences Political Science Civics
A master’s degree is an option for students who previously obtained an undergraduate degree. Obtaining the degree allows individuals to call themselves an expert in their field. It is also usually a prerequisite to earning a doctoral degree.
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. Students may take courses in intercultural and international communication, digital civics, children and international development, regional planning, urban regeneration and religious studies, among many others. These courses are often designed to teach the student not only about local civics but how citizenship affects governments around the world.
Individuals who earn a postgraduate degree in civics often learn many skills that help them in their career as well as in everyday life. Students may learn how to manage their time and projects as well as how to create budgets for those projects. Other skills learned include leadership, critical thinking and public speaking, opening the door to more career opportunities.
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.
People who earn a degree in civics are likely to be able to choose from a wide range of career paths. Students may go into law, social service management, public administration, politics or public relations. Common jobs include mediators, community organization managers and urban planners, all of which utilize social organization and government to pursue agendas important to their communities. Some students may choose to earn a Ph.D. and then run for political office.
