Since the first serious use of online campaigning by John McCain in 2000, online tools such as web advertising, interactive websites, complex social networking, and virtual fundraising have become central to success in politics, and especially in campaigns.

In response to this phenomenon, we created a graduate certificate that teaches students how to master the world of online communications, networking and fundraising.

• 6-course (18-credit-hour) program
• Classes meet Monday through Thursday evenings on the GW main campus in Foggy Bottom
• Certificate can be completed in as little as two semesters; the usual student takes two courses a semester, and finishes in one year
• Coursework completed in the certificate program can be applied to the Master's Degree in Political Management
