The Dual Bachelor of Arts in Political Communication and Master of Professional Studies in Political Management program at the George Washington University's School of Media and Public Affairs (SMPA) combines advanced undergraduate studies in political communication with professional graduate-level training in political management. Students learn to design and implement campaigns, develop messaging, perform analytics and data analysis, and gain expertise in media effects, public opinion, and strategic communication. The curriculum prepares graduates for careers in public and nonprofit management, government media relations, academia, public relations, and political consulting. The program allows students to take 9 graduate credits during their undergraduate study, shortening the usual time-to-degree for the master's portion. 来源： https://smpa.gwu.edu/admissions-funding
