The Department of Communication centers its academic mission on examining strategic discourse within public discourse. Our faculty and graduate students conduct research across diverse areas of Communication studies, primarily organized into three key domains: Communication Science & Social Cognition, Public Relations & Strategic Communication, and Rhetoric & Political Culture. We welcome graduate applications from students whose academic interests align with these concentrations. Our graduate program specifically prepares students for Ph.D. studies (we currently do not accept applicants seeking only an M.A. degree). While many doctoral graduates enter academia, others apply their advanced research expertise in public policy analysis and related professional fields.
