At the Johns Hopkins University Washington Center for the Study of American Government, students use their graduate studies to better inform their work, and they find that their practical work experience augments their graduate studies. The Government Program brings the theory and practice of government, politics, and policymaking together for those working in the Washington, D.C., area while completing their master’s degrees. It is designed as a part-time graduate program, but students have the option of accelerating their course of study by attending at a full-time pace. Students have the option of specializing in one of three concentrations: Political Communication, Security Studies, and Legal Studies. The concentration in Political Communication provides students with the opportunity to study with practitioners in the field: reporters, political operatives, journalists, and campaign and news and media professionals. Security Studies covers the fundamentals of administering and preserving American security, with a range of course offerings on defense policy, military strategy, nuclear weapons, theories of terrorism, and comparative politics, to name a few. Courses in our Legal Studies concentration provide students with an opportunity to better understand the interaction between political and governmental institutions in the legal and criminal justice system and related legal and ethical issues.     Accreditation Information: Middle States Association of Colleges and Universities  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor's degree or higher with a GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in the latter half of an applicant's studies; or a graduate degree in an appropriate field.
