The School of Communication employs Social Sciences and Humanities-based theoretical and methodological approaches to study communication. Graduate students in both MA and PhD programs develop research projects investigating case studies, theoretical concepts, or practices through a communication lens, assessing their societal impacts across political, economic, and cultural dimensions at local and global scales. While the MA (Communication) program typically spans two years, students are allowed a maximum of three years to finish their degree requirements.
