Overview

With an M.A. in Communication and Advocacy, you’ll develop expertise in global leadership, organizational communication, and critical/cultural studies through advanced qualitative and arts-based research training.

As a graduate of this program, you’ll be prepared for a career in media and communication consulting, nonprofit management, public advocacy, international development, K-12 and higher education administration and many other fields. You’ll also have access to pathways toward a doctoral program in communication studies or a related discipline.

Choosing Thesis or Internship

The program will begin with a 12-credit core sequence that will help you define your interests and develop a strong foundation of advanced communication skills, theories and research methods. You will also complete a six-credit thesis or internship project.

We strongly suggest you consult with your advisor or the graduate program director as early as possible for guidance as you choose between the thesis and internship tracks. You should be prepared to declare your chosen direction by the time you complete the 12 credits of required coursework. Both the thesis and internship tracks require a minimum of 33 credits to complete the program.
