GW Sophomores can apply to either the Journalism and Mass Communication major or the Political Communication major, but can only apply to one major per semester (additional information about the SMPA majors can be found here). If you don’t get in on your first try, you can reapply a second and final time. Applications for fall 2013 are due to MPA 400 by 5pm on Friday, September 27. To become a major within SMPA, you MUST apply first – our program is selective and we can only accept a certain number of new applicants this year.
If you’re interested in communication, journalism, social media, framing, politics, and want to find out more about SMPA and our classes, we encourage you to RSVP to attend our upcoming information session. At the event, Assistant Director and Professor Mike Shanahan will be there to tell you how to apply and what qualities the admissions committee looks for in an application. The Information Session for GW sophomores is from 6-7 p.m. on September 11 in SMPA 306. RSVP Here
If you cannot make the session and have questions, please contact the SMPA front desk at 202-994-6227 or by email at smpa@gwu.edu.
