PhD in Communication in Fort Collins United States | Colorado State University

This initiative cultivates a network of scholars and professionals equipped to collaborate with academic and industry circles, addressing the complexities of our interconnected and culturally rich global society.

The program fosters a community of thinkers and practitioners who can work across academic and professional spheres to tackle issues in our diverse, interdependent world. Learners are empowered to design customized study plans aligned with their career aspirations. Course offerings span three interdisciplinary domains: Rhetoric and Civic Engagement, Relational and Organizational Communication, and Media and Visual Culture. Rather than restricting students to specific tracks, we highlight opportunities to leverage faculty members' synergistic and intersecting specializations. Our doctoral curriculum equips graduates for diverse career paths, including research-focused academic positions, teaching roles at universities and community colleges, as well as consulting opportunities across public, private, and non-profit organizations.
