专业介绍

Graduate programs in journalism and mass communication are designed for advanced academic preparation in the various fields of mass communication and journalism, and for training in research and teaching.

Students interested in the MA in Journalism and Mass Communication should refer to one of the two named options:

  1. Professional MA prepares students for careers in news and information production. The program provides a mix of practical communication skills, conceptual knowledge of journalism and mass communication, and an area of specialization (credits in multi-media communication and topic specialization).
  2. Research MA focuses on developing skills in mass communication research and typically leads to enrollment in a doctoral program, including our own PhD in Mass Communications (credits in theory and methods).

Both programs offer flexibility. Students, in consultation with their faculty advisors, select coursework based upon their interests and career goals.
