The MA in Applied Communication Studies provides graduate students with a solid theoretical and practical understanding of how communication practices operate in everyday life. Based on our coursework, graduates of our MA program will learn to foster the co-creation of better social worlds through positive communication by ethically analyzing messages, setting communicative goals, and influencing discourse. Students do that by focusing on three big questions across the coursework in our program, using a case-based approach: (1) What are we creating in our communication, (2) what do we want to create in our communication, and (3) what communication practices will facilitate what we want to create.Situating communication-based research questions in the academic conversation around a topic.Demonstrating an understanding of specific theoretic models and applying those models to applied communication research questions.Anticipating the consequences of accomplishing potential goals for various audiences by identifying multiple diverse perspectives on goals.
