We are done accepting applications for our fall 2025 graduate program cohort in Communication. We open our application for a new cohort every two years; please see the application deadlines.

The Department of Communication offers both the master of arts (MA) and doctor of philosophy (PhD) degrees, with areas of emphasis in Community and Social Interaction, Organizational Communication and Rhetoric and Culture. MA and PhD students craft personalized programs of study within or across areas of the department. Caring, individualized mentorship is a hallmark of graduate study in the department.

Typically, MA and PhD students are supported throughout the academic year by teaching and research assistantships. Financial support is also available for conference travel, research projects, and summer research and teaching.
