福利导在线观看 is entering an agreement with George Mason University (GMU) that
will allow students to complete undergraduate and graduate degrees from both universities
through an accelerated master鈥檚 degree program.
Students will finish their first three years of undergraduate studies at Radford and
complete their final two years at GMU鈥檚 Schar School of Public Affairs, resulting
in a bachelor鈥檚 degree in political science from Radford and a master鈥檚 degree in
public policy from GMU.
"This partnership is a great opportunity for students at Radford to accelerate their
path to an advanced degree,鈥� said Professor Chapman Rackaway, chair of Radford鈥檚 Department
of Political Science. 鈥淣ot only will this save them money, but they'll get a Radford
undergraduate education and a world-class master's degree from George Mason's Schar
School.鈥�
The 福利导在线观看-Schar School pre-master鈥檚 program agreement is contingent upon
approval by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools鈥� Commission on Colleges
(SACSCOC) and the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV).
福利导在线观看 political science majors learn to understand political systems
and public policy while developing critical thinking and analytical skills that will
create diverse career paths. Students graduate as informed and active participants
in society, with opportunities to work in a variety of professions.
GMU鈥檚 Schar School of Policy and Government prepares students for leadership and managerial
roles at all levels of government. The school is located 3 miles from the Pentagon,
4 miles from the White House and 6 miles from the U.S. Capitol building, providing
a beneficial location for internships, networking and hands-on learning experiences
in the Washington, D.C., area.
Rackaway said Radford is 鈥渃ommitted to developing partnerships throughout the commonwealth
to give our students this kind of opportunity. I think,鈥� he said, 鈥渨e'll see great
examples of student success come through it."
