faculty
"Our distinguished and diverse faculty is unique in their extensive understanding of both the theoretical and practical worlds. They excel in both areas and that's what makes this program particularly valuable. Students not only read the important, cutting edge books and articles in the media and public affairs fields, they also study directly with the people who wrote them."
- Lee Huebner, Director, SMPA
The School of Media and Public Affairs is a dynamic, interdisciplinary program based in the heart of Washington, D.C., where media, public affairs and politics intersect. At SMPA our undergraduate and graduate programs combine elements of strategic communication, journalism and political communication with contemporary issues in domestic and international politics.
