Personalized studies. A portion of the campaign consulting certificate is made up of courses chosen by you, allowing you to study the topics that most interest you or align with your career goals. Explore topics like state and local politics, how the media influences the political agenda and experiences of minority groups within the American political system.

Internship experience. As part of the campaign consulting certificate, you'll take part in a political or administrative internship, providing you with real-world connections and experiences. These experiences count for credit and are an excellent addition to your resume. 

Campaign consulting certificate curriculum

Throughout the program, you will learn how to write and speak effectively; construct research questions using appropriate sources and methods to answer them; analyze political behavior, institutions and law or policy; and demonstrate the sense of responsibility necessary to become a constructive global citizen.
