Affiliated Graduate Faculty
While we encourage our graduate students to work with faculty in many disciplines across the campus, graduate courses and independent studies offered by these affiliated graduate faculty count as Politics courses for purposes of our PhD program requirements.
Moreover, affiliated graduate faculty can be considered as Politics members of a QE or thesis committee, excluding the role of chair.
