More than 6500 students attend undergraduate programs at its urban campus on historic Beacon Hill in Boston. It is just that reaction that makes this program so important. This groundbreaking degree program changes the paradigm we have about the relationship between government, the nonprofit world and mass media, while giving students a diversity of skills that multiplies their career options. Now, more than ever, the cornerstone of nearly every important social initiative in this country is a partnership between government and the nonprofit world. Congress and local governments establish public policy and appropriate funds to address monumental issues.
Vast opportunities exist for public officials who understand the unique culture of philanthropy.
Not only are they better prepared to manage these partnerships, but suddenly a whole new avenue of public service is open to them among the 1.3 million nonprofit organizations in the country. When the link is made between government and philanthropy you suddenly realize one startling fact. By mastering the media. Those days are gone. The power has shifted.
