Description
The Department of Communication Studies offers both a master's and doctoral degree specializing in three areas of study: interpersonal and family communication, organizational communication, and rhetoric and public culture. Also available for M.A. students is a specialization in marketing, communication, and advertising.
Students in the program work with prominent scholars and teachers to prepare them for roles in the discipline of communication studies and in our communities. The program size offers the opportunity for close mentoring relationships between students and faculty.
Communication studies students are also presented with a number of professional development activities. Students have the opportunity to attend research lectures by visiting scholars, travel to professional conferences, present scholarly papers, have their work published in regional and national journals, work on collaborative research projects, and work with a nationally-ranked speech and debate program.
