The Master of Arts degree program in Communication Studies is housed in the Department of Communication Studies, but it is a joint program between the Communication Studies Department and the Department of Television, Film and Media Studies. The M.A. is available in two options: the Communication option and the Television and Film option. The option in Communication is designed to enable students to acquire an understanding of research methods and theories that explore the nature and functions of human symbolic communication in the areas of communication and rhetorical theory, interpersonal and organizational communication, strategic communication, public discourse, intercultural communication, and performance studies. The Television and Film option is designed to enable students to acquire an understanding of research methods and theories that explore industry structure, audience reception, as well as visual and structural examinations of media texts. The program requires that students select and develop an area of specialization. Regardless of the Option chosen, students have the unique opportunity to choose elective courses, with advisor approval, from either Option. This enables students to pursue intellectual inquiries that interest them while gaining a broader understanding of the communication process.
