The master’s program is intended to serve as preparation for:
* Doctoral studies where theory, teaching, research, and publication are emphasized.
* Advancement in communications professions.
Beyond the courses required by the department, students select—in consultation with advisors—the specific courses that best meet their goals and interests. Generally, students with non-communications undergraduate majors will be expected to concentrate on communications electives. Those with a communications baccalaureate are encouraged to seek broadening electives outside the department. Consult with your graduate committee chair and the graduate coordinator about these issues.

Exceptions are considered based on prior experience or other evidence of competence. Potential students are encouraged to prepare thoroughly before taking the test.
