Diploma Program in Democratic Administration

Graduate Diploma in Democratic Administration is offered by The Graduate Program in Political Science and awarded concurrently with a Masters or Doctoral degree.

The Diploma program aims to equip students with both the analytical and practical insights needed to help build more democratic and responsive institutions. The program is geared to both new and returning students who aspire to leadership positions. It is open to students from outside the political science program.

Students are exposed to an in-depth analysis of the parameters which constrain collective institutions and the state, with the goal of ensuring that students are able to both elaborate and critically evaluate policies across a broad range of social and economic issues. Equally important, in keeping with the democratic thrust of the program, students explore alternative methods of policy formation and implementation.
