For students who want to advance either professionally or academically, the School of Communication has a course of study for you.
The Master of Arts program offers a broad array of courses that examine, analyze and pursue theoretically based research in the field of human communication, ranging from individual to mass models. It also provides the opportunity for the study and analysis of traditional and current communication media practices and applications, with strong emphasis on evolving media forms. The program is supported by a highly qualified and experienced faculty who offer diverse perspectives and skills in the art and practice of communication. Many of our graduates successfully move on to careers as scholars and educators, while others occupy positions as creative professionals and practitioners.
New master’s concentration launched this fall: Professional Communication and Digital Media
In fall 2015, the School of Communication drew 22 graduate students to its new concentration, Professional Communication and Digital Media. The concentration is aimed at young media professionals who want to improve their communication skills by completing a course of study with media professionals in digital media and storytelling. Each student will complete a professional project. This course of study is aimed at students who want to work professionally, but is also suitable for those who want to teach hands-on skills in the rapidly evolving world of digital media.
Four more concentrations are planned for the spring, 2016. For a complete list of classes and concentrations, download the master’s concentrations document.
