TOO EARLY? We think not:
Only 487 Days until Election Day (Nov. 5) 2024!
New Book by Dr. Baumgartner: “Political Marketing and the Election of 2020 1st Edition.”
Edited with Bruce Newman. From the dust cover: “The election of 2020 was arguably one of the most unique in recent memory. The campaign took place in a context which included a pandemic that prevented normal campaigning for much of the year, a historically unpopular and polarizing incumbent president and continued adaptation on the part of all political actors and citizens to a rapidly changing communication environment. Chapters in this book, by well-respected scholars in the field, focus on various aspects of this reality. This includes discussion of how candidates use various social media platforms, what effects the social media campaign has on citizens and legacy media, as well as how well marketing efforts resonate with citizens.”
YOU MIGHT AS WELL GIVE IN TO IT: Not sure what to major in?
The answer is obvious – POLITICAL SCIENCE!
FROM US NEWS & WORLD REPORT: “What Can I Do With a Political Science Major?”
“Because the tools you can master in this major are fairly transferable, a degree in political science can open careers in all sorts of fields. Strong critical thinking and communication skills could lead you to jobs in journalism, business, education and more. You can also find opportunities in politics by working as an analyst or on a political campaign, for example. If you enjoyed undergraduate research, you might enroll in a doctorate program in political science and begin a career in academia, or you could also consider applying to law school. With a political science degree, you can seek positions in nonprofits, government and the private sector.”
