Hi Chinasa, hope you are well? My question revolves around prospects for those migrating to ML from social science fields. Specifically, what are the possibilities of obtaining a masters and hopefully a PhD in Machine Learning despite being a Political Science major at undergraduate level?

There is a good chance that you will be able to do this, you will most definitely need to start off with a Master's program then transition to a traditional PhD program. Many programs favor students with relevant degrees (Computer science, electrical/computer engineering, math, etc.) for admission into their programs since they have the necessary background to understand the basics of computer science.
