 Master's Degree in Political Management - Program Overview:
You want to make a difference in the political process and know that "business as usual" yields "results as usual." You need tools to help you navigate the intricate political arena because working successfully in politics requires more than learning the fundamentals of how Washington works. The online Master of Professional Studies in Political Management provides you with a new perspective on how to influence the process, be successful, and make a positive difference. The online program goes beyond theory with a curriculum that teaches practical applications to politics today, and provides the opportunity to put that knowledge to the test. Our online curriculum will give you hands-on experience that will boost your political career.

The online Master's degree in Political Management gives you a comprehensive understanding of campaign management, lobbying and government relations, issues management and advocacy, fundraising, corporate and trade association public affairs, polling and strategic research techniques, and political leadership. Unlike political theory programs, we place you in the trenches so you learn how to apply your knowledge immediately. With our 36-credit-hour master's program, you will gain the techniques and ethics needed for success in a supportive, non-partisan environment.

Testimonials
"I knew if I was going to get a master's degree, it should be in something that really interests me. I wanted to work in politics, but I didn't want a law degree. The Political Management Master's degree was a perfect fit. My coursework at the GSPM helped me build the right kind of foundation for working in the political arena."

George Cecala, Press Secretary for Congressman Steve Chabot
