Campaign Management Minor
|
|
In a state known for its retail politics, students often use their proximity to national candidates to learn about one of the most important means of accountability in a democracy-campaigning for office. However, campaigns in today’s political world are increasingly professionalized and require specific skills and knowledge. This interdisciplinary minor is designed to give students both the theoretical and practical skills to participate in political management. This interdisciplinary minor allows students to blend knowledge of the psychology of voters, the structure and methods of campaigns, and an understanding of the media and candidate presentation, to prepare them for work in the campaigning field. The interdisciplinary minor includes both academic and experiential requirements. The goal of the interdisciplinary minor is to prepare students for a career in political campaigning or to be prepared academically for graduate programs in political management.
