The Graduate School of Political Management

The Graduate School of Political Management (GSPM) seeks to make politics better by educating students and professionals in the tools, principles and values of participatory democracy, preparing them for careers as ethical and effective advocates and leaders at the international, national and local levels - in a non-partisan environment. We offer three Master’s degrees, five graduate certificates, an undergraduate Semester in Washington program, and we do extensive political education in Latin America, including a Spanish-language Certificate in Strategic Governance.
