Public Affairs via distance learning

 

This program reviews how to work with policy-making bodies, such as regulators, commercial organizations and other interested parties. Managing public affairs is more than just political lobbying. It examines how political decisions affect the current economy and corporations. It also manages an organization’s relationship with stakeholders. Public affairs management combines government relations, media communications, crisis management, corporate and social responsibility, information dissemination, and strategic communications. Practitioners aim to influence public policy, build and maintain a strong reputation, and find common ground with stakeholders.
