Admission
We encourage you to complete the Preliminary Information Form. The Preliminary Information goes only to the Political Science Department and allows us to consider your interests and qualifications before we receive the official Graduate Division application (which usually takes longer to complete).If you are ready to apply, please complete the official UCR Graduate School Application. This is the application that serves as the "official" application to the Political Science Department's Graduate Program. The UCR Graduate Division provides more information about the official application procedures.
The completed application consists of GRE scores, three letters of recommendation (from persons familiar with the student's academic work), and official transcripts from all academic institutions attended. Applications should be sent directly to the Department of Political Science. For additional information about the application process or status of your application, contact Renee D'Aguilar, Graduate Assistant.
