Graduate Program

The M.A. in Communication is designed for students who wish to apply advanced communication perspectives, methodologies, and competencies in their careers and for those who wish to advance from this degree to further graduate work. This program is unique in its distinct intercultural orientation, cultivating an understanding of national, ethnic, gender, and other cultural differences in a wide range of communication settings and activities. Students are encouraged to develop focused programs of study (e.g. corporate communication, media studies, or communication education). An understanding and application of intercultural communication theory and practice, however, will contextualize the students' program. There are two tracks in our graduate program: Communication Studies and Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC).
