Organizational communication examines how people communicate within collaborative, geographically dispersed, and culturally diverse workplaces. The curriculum covers subjects like workplace culture, digital communication tools, remote teams, onboarding processes, alternative employment arrangements, and international organizations. Students develop expertise in both qualitative and quantitative research methods through these courses.
The Communication Studies graduate program provides broad exposure rather than specialization, with coursework spanning five focus areas: Health Communication, Rhetorical/Cultural Studies, Media Studies, Organizational Communication, and Public Relations. Combining theoretical foundations with practical application, the program delivers intensive instruction in research methodologies while allowing students to pursue personal interests through electives and a culminating capstone project.
