Enrollment

Students majoring in Law and Society or Political Science are eligible to enroll in the BA to MPP 4+1 program. Students must submit a 4+1 Declaration form to the Registrar’s Office to officially enroll in the 4+1 MPP track. Once enrolled in the 4+1 MPP track, you will have a secondary academic advisor assigned to help you with advisement and registration. During your senior year, you will complete the 4+1 Transition Process with the Office of Graduate Admissions to officially enroll in the MPP program.
