Abstract

How do you choose which universities to apply for? How do you navigate political science departmental norms and expectations? What are your job prospects as an international student in the U.S? These are a handful of questions that countless international political science graduate students – prospective, pre-candidacy, and post-candidacy – will need to consider at some point. There may also be language, cultural, and financial barriers to achieving a graduate degree in political science. Thus, this chapter is designed to provide helpful information to navigate these concerns. This manuscript is part of Strategies for Navigating Graduate School and Beyond, a forthcoming volume for those interested in pursuing graduate education in political science (Fall 2022 publication)
