Graduate Programs

Graduate study in the College of Communications is based in the research and teaching expertise of the College’s distinguished graduate faculty. We believe that graduate communications scholarship is most effective and rewarding when graduate students are given the opportunity to work with a cadre of prominent scholars whom students have identified as having the particular expertise that best suits their scholarly objectives.

Faculty & Students at a Glance

Our experience confirms the proposition that graduate students thrive in a program that facilitates their active and ongoing collaboration with leading scholars. Therefore, rather than offering graduate programs based on the expected, generic list of graduate communication courses, our focus is centered on seminars and track configurations that reflect our faculty’s expertise.

Graduates find placement at prestigious universities such as Penn, Illinois, North Carolina, and Florida.
