Its nominal duration is four years full-time (90 credits), or five years part-time, with courses offered during the day and in the evening, and admission limited to the fall term. Admission requires a master's degree in communication or a closely related field, completed with a cumulative average of at least 3.2 on a 4.3 scale; candidates must submit a thesis project outline and should preferably have a professor agree in advance to supervise them.
