Graduate Links/Overview
What makes our graduate program distinctive is the focus on the role of culture and change in communication. We define culture broadly as pertaining not only to social/psychological orientations held by particular groups, but also emergent identities, discursive practices and norms, artistic and mediated forms, locations of speaking/acting/producing, organizational systems, and institutional structures. We view culture as socially constructed and structurally produced and therefore a factor that is influential across all communication contexts. The M.A. program features culture and communication applied to the following areas: intercultural communication, health communication, rhetorical communication, mass communication, interpersonal communication, and organizational communication. The program is designed to prepare individuals for a career in professional fields or to continue toward a doctorate degree. Regardless of whether you are a part-time or full-time student, we help you design a program of studies to meet your needs. For more on the M.A. program, follow this link. The Ph.D. program features culture and communication applied to three areas of concentration: intercultural communication, health communication, and mass communication. The doctoral program is designed to prepare individuals for university teaching/research positions or positions in the private/public sector that require the ability to conduct research in applied contexts.
