Graduate Students
The Centre does not offer courses and is not a degree-granting program, but it supports graduate students connected with Political Science and other departments at ¹úÃñ²ÊƱ. Those interested in graduate studies at ¹úÃñ²ÊƱ should consult the Graduate Studies calendar, and queries about the graduate program in Political Science should be directed to the department’s Graduate Coordinator, Kristin Good (kristin.good@dal.ca).
