Communication and Media M.A.
The Graduate Program in the Department of Communication and Media provides students with Master’s level training and helps them fulfill their post-graduation goals, whether obtaining professional employment, enrolling in a PhD program, or reskilling/upskilling for their current profession.
We offer three opportunities for Master's educational experiences and credentials: the standard 2-year MA program, the accelerated 4+1 program for high achieving undergraduate majors, and Master's level certificates.
Nearly all of our coursework is offered in the evenings, entirely online, or hy-flex (i.e., the ability to Zoom into a F2F class instead of being physically present). This organization allows students to pursue MA level education with a flexibility that works for full-time students, full-time employees, and everyone in between.
