Licence en Communication Politique

Students in this first-of-its-kind primary 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 how politics works in the United States and around the world.

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

The School of Media and Public Affairs (SMPA) is a trailblazer in political communication, journalism, and media. As the only school of its kind in the capital of politics and media, SMPA excels at bringing Washington into the classroom. The SMPA community benefits from access to an extensive network, events with political and media leaders, and a prime location to explore the interplay of media and politics.

Our faculty members are top academics and professionals in their fields, bringing extensive experience and knowledge networks into the classroom and beyond. Our graduates are leaders in advocacy, politics, business, and journalism and our students engage the world around them through internships and access to decision-makers, community leaders, and power brokers.
