The Master of Arts in Communication & Storytelling Studies is an advanced platform for understanding and practicing the powers of communication, story, and narrative. Our program seizes upon changes in workforce needs that have increasingly moved toward the integration of traditional professional communication with the creative, performance, and social advocacy-ready components associated with Storytelling.<br><br>Through our communication focus, we examine how story, narrative, and discourse shape social meaning and facilitate social change, as well as how the study of story, narrative, and discourse can used to better understand diverse populations, to facilitate stronger connections and manage conflict within and across those populations, and to foster creative civil dialogue.<br><br>We offer a two-year program with option for longer spans for part-time students. Students have opportunities to learn from practicing professionals and have the option to create a capstone project, write comprehensive exams, or write a thesis. Our faculty bring diverse talents, experiences, and credentials to our teaching environments to bridge theoretical and applied knowledge. As mentors, we work individually with every student to craft a program of study that helps each one meet their personal, professional, and intellectual goals.
