政治学哲学博士

华盛顿大学政治学博士学位课程是美国最热门的课程之一。研究生上课并从事研究工作，其教师在国内和国际上都被认为是该国最专业，最活跃和最具生产力的。我们的研究生课程相对较小。每年我们大约招收八名学生进入博士学位课程，其中大多数都在四到五年内完成博士学位。目前大约有40名研究生。华盛顿大学的政治学博士学位课程旨在为学生提供在全国主要机构从事研究和教学的学术职业的准备。尽管我们的计划强调了政治方法论（应用统计）和形式理论（博弈论和数学建模）的重要性，但我们的计划旨在对所有学生进行这些方法的培训，无论其数学背景如何。
The doctoral program in political science at Washington University is one of the top programs in the country. Graduate students take classes and engage in research with a faculty recognized nationally and internationally as among the most expert, active, and productive in the country. Our graduate program is relatively small. We admit around eight students into the PhD program each year, and most of these complete the doctorate, generally in four to five years. There are approximately forty graduate students currently in residence. Washington University's PhD program in political science is designed to prepare students for academic careers in research and teaching at major institutions across the country. While our program stresses the importance of political methodology (applied statistics) and formal theory (game theory and mathematical modeling), our program is designed to train all students in these methods, regardless of their mathematical background. We provide professional training in the discipline through our professional development seminar and we encourage our students to attend professional meetings and participate in convention programs.
