The 10 course, 30-credit-hour Master of Arts in Communication integrates communication skills, knowledge and applied experiences that elevate your qualifications in a competitive job market, distinguishing you from those who have a bachelor's degree. Our streamlined program offers timely degree completion ranging from 2-3 years, depending on full-time or part-time status.
Our graduates pursue careers in nonprofit and corporate leadership, public relations, training and development, human resources, consulting, college teaching and other related fields. They have been accepted to top communication doctoral programs such as Ohio University, University of Tennessee, University of Kentucky, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue University and University of Iowa.
