The Communication major prepares graduates to pursue communication doctoral studies, research positions in industry, and advanced teaching or professional careers. The major blends social-scientific and humanistic research with communication theory in the areas of media, technology, and society. Students are introduced to diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives, with a focus on research in every class. Faculty strengths in digital, political, strategic, rhetorical, and organizational communication enrich student learning and career readiness.

All graduate students receiving the M.A. in Communication degree must complete 36 credit hours. Required coursework for students in the Communication major includes 9 credit hours of core subjects (Communication Theory, Quantitative Research in Communication, and Qualitative Research in Communication), 15 credit hours of major-specific coursework, at least 6 credits hours of electives, and 6 hours of thesis credit.
