The Personal Political Science Master's Degree...

If you are willing to spend your time in search of knowledge, you can get the equivalent of a Master's Degree in Political Science -- without spending thousands of dollars. Here's how:

1. Read these books to learn how to win. And read these books to learn about conservative political philosophy. (It's important to be both philosophically sound, and technologically proficient.) Let's be honest, you can get just as much out of reading 40 books as you can from attending most colleges. So pick 40 of these books that interest you...and get busy!

2. Read Matt Lewis & The News regularly, listen to our Expert's Interviews and sign up for our email list. Here's why: Unlike books, this website is interactive. It's designed to be a dialogue that provides you with daily mentoring. Additionally, because of the "real-time" format, we can teach lessons based on current events and cutting-edge technology. Books can't do that, either.

3. Attend at least 10 Leadership Institute courses. Take plenty of good notes, and review them frequently. LI provides top-notch training -- and most of the courses can be attended for around $100. I would say that the training is actually worth tens of thousands!

4. Volunteer on a political campaign or intern on "The Hill." Too many people graduate with a degree in political science without having any real experience...not so with the Campaign Leadership Master's program. I highly recommend you find a way to get some real-life experience. Roll up your sleeves, and get to work.
