Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's Degree in Political Science and Legal Studies

If you plan to work in government or public service, you might consider putting your career on the fast track by earning a graduate degree, too. And you can earn a dual bachelor’s/master’s degree in just five years through Suffolk’s accelerated program.

You can apply to this dual-degree & program in your junior year at Suffolk, during the spring semester, and take your first graduate course the following fall. You can take two graduate-level courses in your senior year (one during the fall semester and one during the spring semester) and then complete your graduate studies in a fifth full-time year, saving both time and tuition.

Your graduate courses will enhance the knowledge and skills you gain as an undergraduate, let you explore the field more deeply through a concentration in professional politics or international relations, and help you get real-world experience with a professional internship.
