MA/MS in Communication and Media Studies

Communication in its many forms, including media and performance, is analyzed and created by students in this graduate program. Its interdisciplinary approach brings together performance, media analysis and communication studies, so participants see how the pieces connect. Required courses form the foundation, and capstone work, research projects and specialized seminars build on them. Delivery comes in online and hybrid formats alongside traditional classes, which allows both full-time students and those who hold jobs to take part. Throughout, the program develops advanced skills in analysis, creativity and communication. Those abilities are applicable in many industries, and they also prepare students who intend to continue into doctoral study. The degree fits people hoping to deepen their understanding of how messages are crafted and received, whether their goals involve professional practice, media production or further academic research.
