The Department of Communications offers a Master of Arts in Strategic Communication (MASC). The MASC is a professionally oriented, executive-style degree program that will prepare students to plan, create, and manage communication to achieve organizational goals.
The MASC is unique because of the integrated curriculum. Strategic communication is a very broad area that pulls together communications disciplines that are typically separated in many academic programs. The integrated curriculum reflects a strong demand in the workplace for professionals who understand how to plan and manage many types of communication initiatives.
The MASC combines the flexibility of engaging online coursework with a small amount of required attendance on campus (approximately three weekends total) and optional virtual discussion meetings in some courses. This approach allows working professionals the flexibility needed to accommodate busy work schedules and provides an opportunity to develop relationships with faculty mentors and peers.
