Qualification Requirements
The Department of Journalism and Media Communication follows the university requirements for admission to the M.S. in Public Communication and Technology program. Applicants are required to hold at least a 3.0 GPA for their undergraduate work.
Statement of purpose: Indicate your career goals and scholarly interests. Be sure to describe how our M.S. program and faculty will allow you to accomplish these goals. Note: Applicants can read more about preparing their Statement of Purpose in Frequently Asked Questions.
Resume or curriculum vitae (CV): Be sure to show dates and details of professional and academic experience.
Writing Samples: Three examples of scholarly or professional writing in English. Typical examples of writing samples include class/professional papers or projects that demonstrate the scope of your academic and professional abilities. Do not send originals, as they cannot be returned. Note: Applicants can read more about preparing their writing samples in Frequently Asked Questions.
Recommendation letters: We require letters from three individuals who can speak to your potential for success in our M.S. program. These letters should be written by a variety of individuals (advisers, professors, employers, supervisors, or individuals in similar positions) who have known you in different capacities. Letters should address your ability to successfully pursue and complete graduate studies, not merely attest to your character. The online application will prompt your reviewers to submit the letters of recommendation, but you should contact your reviewers in advance and provide each individual with a copy of the guidelines for preparing letters of recommendation. You also should later confirm with the individual that the letter of recommendation was submitted.
Transcripts: Submit official transcripts from all collegiate work completed. This includes institutions where coursework was taken but no formal degree was granted (e.g., community colleges, transfer schools). Note: Submitting transcripts from coursework completed at Colorado State University is not required.
