The MFA is sought by students interested in the study of forensics. Forensics is a co-curricular speech and debate program offered at many high schools, colleges, and universities. Students interested in the MFA typically want to pursue teaching/coaching positions in an academic environment or want to pursue professional careers involving public speaking, training and development, or public service skills.The School of Communication (COMM) prepares students to become engaged, knowledgeable, and ethical communicators, advocates, and storytellers. We inspire students to embrace media technologies, create diverse stories, think critically about social relations, and foster the public good by advancing socially responsible communication practices through education, research, and service. Communication Studies and Mass Communication are the foundation for the School.
