Political Communication

Students in this first-of-its-kind major explore the nature and political effects of our rapidly evolving media environment. They learn how mass media, the internet and new information and communication technologies are changing the way politics works in the United States and around the world.

Political communication teaches analytical, critical thinking and leadership skills that allow our graduates to go on to successful careers on the campaign trail, in Congress or in offices and boardrooms around the world. Our faculty of accomplished academics and practitioners teach students how to use media and new information technology to create and deliver the right information to the right audience at the right time.
