Six of the current students of the International Affairs and Political Science M.A. programs -- Jason Ardanowski, Igor Borba, Dazhi Liang, Jennifer Lorentz, Robert Mate, and Christina Wright -- made research presentations at the Midwest Political Science Association Annual Conference in Chicago, April 2-5.
Eleven INAF and POSC M.A. students graduated this spring, participating in the commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 17. Although it was a very difficult year for students seeking admission into Ph.D. programs, all four of our graduating M.A. students who applied for Ph.D. programs were admitted to a variety of top Ph.D. programs. Each student received and accepted an admission offer with a five-year funding package. The students will be attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Iowa, University of Connecticut, and University of New Mexico.
This year's applicant pool for the INAF and POSC M.A. programs was again very strong. Although a few of our M.A. program applicants accepted offers from top Ph.D. programs, the incoming class is a very strong one. Incoming students and those interested in applying for either the INAF or POSC M.A. program should direct any questions to Prof. Lowell Barrington, the INAF and POSC Director of Graduate Studies.
