Master of Arts in Communication - Communication Studies

Communication touches every part of our lives. Creating powerful messages is no longer enough. To stand out, your message needs to inspire those who see and hear it to act. Messages that can cut through the noise require you to develop strong writing and presentation skills, critical thinking, and an all-around understanding of communication—interpersonal, organizational, environmental, new and old media, and the various audiences involved. This degree is an emphasis within the Communication program. This specific emphasis may not be available at every location. Speak with an advisor for more details on availability of this emphasis.
