Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that?
 We must have perseverance and above all confidence
in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted
for something and that this thing must be attained.

MA Degree Programs in Communication

The MA in Communication offers a distinctive synthesis of the old and the new:  from time-tested communication principles thousands of years old, to applications and uses of cutting-edge information technologies. Our course work includes concentrations in Integrated Marketing Communication, Public Relations and Advertising, Organizational Communication, and Communication Studies.

Please note: Curriculum changes on individual program pages are in effect for all students entering after Spring 2005.
