PhD Completion and Placement Statistics - Department of Political Science

Carolina’s political science department has a strong record of getting good jobs for our graduate students. We believe that every student we admit has the capacity to achieve a record that will make them attractive as a faculty member at top universities in the US and overseas. Our alums have an impressive record of distinguished research and publications, teaching positions, and professional experience. We have compiled a comprehensive report from March 2024 on our graduate admissions since 1999 including time to degree, attrition, and job placement.
