Hey all,
I made a last minute(ish) shift in my goals and after talking it over with my current boss, I'm considering going into Strategic Communications. I'm in Washington DC and currently American, which has an Advocacy and Impact concentration, seems great for me. It's possible my work will also pay for 50% of the 1 year masters too.
I'm curious if anyone is up for chancing me there OR give me some direction for other schools I should apply to (or maybe advice to secure my place there?). Even without it, American is my top school.
