Hmm it's not for me, but I think it's a good deal for $13.5K, it's in a semi niche market for MA Political Science. This would work well for those looking for a "liberal arts" but still wanted a "major" vs "liberal studies". It checks the box for a Masters and can also open doors for those who want to go into government agencies at the federal or state, even municipal level.

I agree. The website says it's intended for those types of organizations.
Your IU Online MA in Political Science may prepare you for careers in such fields as:
- Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
- Education
- Lobbying
- Policy analysis
- National security
- Public service, government, and politics

You probably applied through the IU Southeast website. The online MA is offered through multiple campuses and if you just google "Indiana MA Pol Sci" you will find links to many different campus websites. If you want to select Bloomington, you have to request information and application forms by emailing iuograd@iu.edu. They will come back with a representative who will send you a link to the application website. It is in the application website that you choose Bloomington. You can also call them directly for guidance at (833) 930-2092
According to the rep I was assigned, if you do not specify a campus, they will select the one nearest your location based on your zip code. So you really need to specify Bloomington.
Here's the application link they sent me. You can create a dummy account and test the waters and navigate the application requirements and deadlines.
