Doctor of Philosophy in Mass Communications

The Newhouse School’s doctoral program is interdisciplinary in spirit, with students taking a considerable amount of coursework in academic areas outside the Newhouse School. While certain Newhouse courses are required, the program is sufficiently flexible to provide students with opportunities to pursue their own scholarly interests. You will be actively engaged in research incorporating a wide variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, and encouraged to present your work at national and international conferences. You will also be active in Syracuse University’s Future Professoriate Program, which provides superior training and mentoring in college level teaching.
