Introduction
This intensive, 36.00 credit-hour graduate program prepares students to address complex communication issues from a strong, theoretically grounded, and methodologically driven perspective. Providing a foundation of communication theory and mixed methodological training, the program allows students to specialize in various subfields such as public relations, organizational communication, interpersonal communication, cultural studies, mediated communication, and digital media.
Full- and part-time students are equally welcome to apply. Graduate Assistantships under the Graduate Student Support Plan are available for full-time students only.
Our students come to us with varied goals and leave us to further those goals in diverse contexts —
non-profit agencies, public relations firms, training and development organizations, and governmental agencies, to name a few. Many become college instructors and lecturers in Communication or continue their education in doctoral programs.
We focus not only on the intellectual development of graduate students but also on the full graduate student experience. M.S. in Communication Ambassadors (volunteers from our student body who have been in the program one year or more) host a number of events to assist students in managing the daily grind of graduate school, providing a support system for students who join us and providing a ready-made web of connections with other graduate students and alumni.
