The graduate program in Communication Studies focuses on family communication. This area of study has become a hot topic in communication research and we offer a concentration in both interpersonal and family communication at the graduate level.
This program is designed for aspiring doctoral students in communication studies as well as professionals wishing to advance their career. It is also an attractive option for graduate students in Psychology, Education, Sociology, and Criminal Justice who are searching for a complementary minor. For some who aspire to a Ph.D. in one of these fields, an MA emphasizing interpersonal and family communication could be a useful stepping stone.
With the concentration in interpersonal and family communication, the graduate program is also a great opportunity for:
- Elementary and secondary school teachers,
- Community and small college instructors, and
- Marriage and family counseling professionals
If you are pursuing your master degree for career-enhancement purposes, a non-thesis option is available.
