The applied dimension of the courses offered in the program will be combined with the real-world experience provided by the compulsory ones. Y570 – Introduction to the Study of Politics to ensure that all students in the program have had a basic course in political science. This course examines the role of state and local government in the electoral process (including redistricting, the organization of elections, and the tabulation and release of results), and the structure of elections, patterns of voter participation, and the impact of elections on politics and government.
PROGRAM RATIONALE 1. Institutional Factors
- Student Demand
- Transferability
- Demand and Employment Factors
- Regional, State, and National Factors
We have also been in close contact with Ball State University (BSU), which offers a limited number of graduate courses in political science in Indianapolis as part of its MA program in political science. Appropriate graduate courses in SPEA could be taken by MA students in Political Science and applied toward their degree. The establishment of graduate courses and an MA in Political Science at IUPUI will certainly provide additional opportunities for such collaboration.
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION 1. Implementation
- Evaluation
We expect demand for the program to be stable, increasing as it becomes more established. Exit interviews will be conducted with all graduating students to determine the effectiveness of the program and to help identify needed changes and improvements. The success of the program will be determined in terms of demand (measured by enrollment), student responses to exit and follow-up interviews, and comments from employers.
PROGRAM BUDGET
The graduate committee will continuously monitor enrollments, student grades and progress, the quality and completion of theses, and students' transition to professional life. Follow-up interviews will also be conducted after three and five years to learn how graduates feel about the role the program has played in their professional development. Once a sufficient number of candidates have been collected, the institute will also seek the views of employers regarding the structure of the programme.
APPENDICES I. Sample inquiries from students
I am writing in support of a master's degree in political science proposed at Indiana University/Purdue University-Indianapolis (lUPUI). As a state legislator and someone with a strong interest in government and politics, I believe a master's degree in political science from IUPUI is long overdue. I am happy to support the creation of a master's degree in political science here at IUPUI.

7, addressing the program's impact on faculty resources, speaks to the proposal to "cross-list" graduate courses with undergraduate courses, saying that "faculty will "cross-list" graduate courses with undergraduate courses, and saying that "faculty will teach both at the same time (with an additional set of requirements to .graduates)." On p. 9 is the statement: "No undergraduate courses could be applied to this MA program." Can this be clarified. Finally, students could earn academic credits applied to the degree by taking courses in other schools or departments (such as the in state constitutional law in other schools or departments (such as the state constitutional law course).
Outline for Reviewer’s Comments
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 1. Description and Objectives
The program was jointly developed by a faculty committee with representatives from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University West. Lafayette campus and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the IUPUI campus in Indianapolis. Research laboratories in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering will be available and will be upgraded as support becomes available.
PROGRAM RATIONALE
There are currently approximately 70 graduate students enrolled in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at IUPUI at the Master's level. Within these limitations, it can be expected that students will be able to transfer credits on the same basis as in existing graduate programs in the School of Engineering and Technology. Indiana is a leading source of electronics and information technology products in the automotive, pharmaceutical, consumer electronics and other industries.
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION
The quality of the graduate education is ensured by the quality of the faculty involved, the high admission and graduate standards and the administrative supervision of the heads of schools and the deans of the schools.

- DOCTORAL PLAN OF STUDY
Your Academic Advisory Committee consists of three West Lafayette campus Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty members who sign off on your preliminary plan of study. Selection of your major requires his/her consent and the approval of the ECE Graduate Coordinator. This plan of study, which you file electronically, requires the approval of the Doctoral Advisory Committee, the ECE Graduate Coordinator, and the Dean of the Graduate School.
PRIMARY AREA
In addition to the requirements discussed above, some students choose an "Area of Specialization." Areas of specialization available to ECE Ph.D. The field of specialization will appear on transcripts issued after the degree is posted. Fulfilling the requirements for an area of specialization usually involves some additional courses or places additional restrictions on your choice of courses.
ECE RELATED AREA
The core courses cover the background material in the various ECE areas, and you will likely need to take some of these to prepare for higher level courses, to prepare for the qualifying exam and to broaden your curriculum. Deviations from these rules require the approval of the current (Academic or Doctoral) Advisory Committee, the Area Committee for the student's Primary Area, and the ECE Graduate Coordinator. The approval of the Area Committee for an exception to a provisional study plan automatically counts as approval of the Area Committee for the final study plan, as long as the student has not changed areas.
