MA/MS in Communication and Media Studies

Fitchburg State's digital media master's (MS) is delivered fully online and is aimed at people who want to work in social media and related communication roles. It draws on marketing, public relations, entertainment and corporate communications contexts. Students practise creating social media campaigns and marketing materials with the tools they learn, applying ideas as they go. The curriculum covers social media theory, content design and management, research methods that blend quantitative and qualitative approaches, and data visualization and multimedia presentation. The program is described as accelerated, and it is offered through the graduate division. Learners who need flexibility around work can study without visiting campus. Prospective students can request information or begin an application from the program page. Costs are published separately on the school's graduate division's tuition and fees page, so applicants should consult it when planning.
