<p>I’m planning on majoring in political science in college and eventually going in to politics (as in working on campaigns not as a canidate). I was just wondering what are a few of the good political science schools out there?</p>
<p>I hear Georgetown is good. Where better to study Poli Sci than in D.C.?</p>
<p>If you’re planning on actually working on campaigns, then there’s no question. George Washington University offers degrees in Political Management. You learn how to be a political consultant – create an image, a slogan, a rep, etc. I think Political Management is a graduate degree, but there is also an undergraduate degree in Political Communication, which is like a mix between political science, journalism, and communication. Check out more info at GWU. </p>
<p>Here are some links – </p>

<p>School of Political Management – <a href=“Graduate School of Political Management | College of Professional Studies | The George Washington University”>Graduate School of Political Management | College of Professional Studies | The George Washington University;
<p>Beware though, GWU is expensive. I’m not sure what your situation is, but make sure you check out their fin. aid and admissions pages.</p>
<p>Also, to start learning about political management, check out Campaigns & Elections magazine, which is in the bathrooms of every elected official in Washington. Its former editor-in-chief, Ron Faucheux, sort of created the field of political management and wrote many of the first textbooks on the subject. Here’s his website – <a href=“http://www.faucheux.com%5B/url%5D”>http://www.faucheux.com</a></p>
<p>You might also want to try American University (DC). They’re all over that.</p>
