Duke’s MS in Political Science equips emerging policy entrepreneurs with the empirical muscle to decode power and design solutions. Students master Bayesian hierarchical models, scrape millions of social-media posts to diagnose disinformation cascades, and stage UN-style crisis simulations that fuse negotiation theory with real-time data dashboards. A practicum embeds each cohort in think tanks, legislatures, or civic-tech start-ups, where teams build open-source tools—from voter-access chatbots to sanction-risk trackers—that migrate straight into public use.
