Clayton H. Riddell Graduate Program in Political Management

The Clayton H. Riddell Graduate Program in Political Management is Canada’s first graduate program in Political Management. This intensive professionally oriented master’s degree is designed to provide students with the foundation to pursue leadership roles in the political offices and parties of our nation. The program is grounded in the academic understanding and critique of democratic processes and institutions, drawing on Carleton’s longstanding strengths and faculty expertise in the analysis of Canadian politics and governance, voting behaviour and electioneering, political communication, public opinion measurement and the design of persuasive campaigns. Adjunct faculty include some of the most accomplished Canadian political practitioners. Core to the degree is an insistence on ethical behaviour as a paramount guiding principle as well as mutual respect among political adversaries.
