Professional
Communication
The M.A. Program in Professional Communication is for persons who
wish to become better skilled with communication issues and practices
within business and professional organizations. Both communication
professionals and students seeking enhanced career and developmental
opportunities are welcomed into the program.
The program includes core courses in writing, speaking, theory, research,
and ethics. Elective areas of study include such subjects as Public
Relations, Conflict Management, Organizational Communication, Interpersonal
Communication, and Communication Management in Media and Public Relations.
A strength of the program is its practical focus. While emphasizing
theory and methods in core courses, students are encouraged to apply
the communication principles they learn to professional situations.
Both the full-time and professional faculty bring academic and pragmatic
experiences to bear in courses that give students the opportunity
to apply their knowledge and skill in the classroom and workplace.
This 36 credit program can be tailored to the individual student's
goals through the choices that can be made in the General Courses
as well as through the experiences that can be pursued in the Practicum.
Most students choose to earn their degree on a part-time basis, which
enables them to complete the program in two to three years.
