You are well-suited for management-related master's programs in the US, given your 4-year bachelor's in Political Science, strong academics, and 2 years of work experience.

Recommended options include:

- Master of Science in Management (MSM): Designed for non-business graduates with less than 3 years of experience. Offers specializations like Entrepreneurship, Finance, and Strategy.
- Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Management: Ideal for those with non-business backgrounds and limited work experience, covering business fundamentals and leadership.
- Master of Science in Management and Human Resources (MSMHR): Combines business strategy and HR, suitable for early- to mid-career professionals.
- Master of Science in Management (MiM): Targets recent graduates with up to 3 years of experience; some are STEM-designated, which may benefit visa options.

Most programs require an IELTS score of 6.5 - 7.5 (subject to change).
