Communication Studies M.A.

Note: The Communication Studies graduate program does not accept applications directly to the MA; rather, the MA is an additional or alternative credential for students admitted to the Communication Studies PhD program.

The Communication Studies program has a national reputation for excellence in the areas of critical media studies, interpersonal communication, and rhetoric. Our graduate students are highly motivated scholars at the cutting edge of communication research with an equally strong commitment to becoming skilled instructors. Although most students emphasize one of these areas, students take courses across each of the three sub-disciplines.
