INTERNATIONAL (non US Citizen) APPLICANTS: You should be aware that non-U.S. citizens are responsible for tuition and fee payments that total close to $24,000 per year for every year in residence. Unlike many other state universities, this tuition is not waived for students receiving teaching assistantships, which is the primary source of graduate student funding in the Department of Political Science. In almost all cases neither the University nor the Department of Political Science has the funds to cover these payments. As a consequence, very few non-citizens enroll in the program. Please keep this in mind when deciding whether or not to request the application.
