Overview

Key features

The Nonprofit Advocacy Concentration in Political Science from Mississippi University for Women ensures students are prepared to serve nonprofits as government relations professionals. In doing so, it addresses the growing recognition among practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit sector that organizations must increase their ability to engage policymakers and political processes if they hope to fulfill their missions and sustain their operations.

Our graduates will be able to meet this demand with the knowledge and experience necessary to strategically engage the policy-making process through lobbying, community and grassroots organizing, and other advocacy activities; what’s more, they will become familiar with the specific regulatory environment in which nonprofits operate.
