The Political Methodology field at Wisconsin is broadly defined. It includes
training in qualitative and quantitative design, empirical theory, statistical
methods and formal theory. As a consequence, Wisconsin students are unusually
well trained in the entire field and are prepared to both teach and apply
methodologies in all empirical fields of the discipline. The study of, and testing in,
methods is not isolated from work in substantive fields, and the exam requires
students to be able to apply the methodological questions (theory and technique)
to the student's substantive area in an intelligent way.
