Communication (M.A.)
About
The MA program combines teaching and research in a curriculum that prepares students for scholarly inquiry or work outside the academy. We emphasize a broad understanding of historical and contemporary theories; the research skills necessary to explore and contribute to knowledge; and the ability to apply knowledge beyond the classroom in public and private organizations.
Program Highlights
Requirements
A student selects and completes distributions in required courses, an area of interest, and electives. Students must complete at least 30 credit hours; however, additional credit hours may be necessary to fulfill the Graduate School’s Responsible Conduct of Research requirement. We suggest that students enroll in INT 601: Responsible Conduct of Research (1 credit; offered online and asynchronously) during the summer after their first year to fulfill this requirement, though students are encouraged to confer with their advisor.
