Current Courses

Students are encouraged to design their curricula around their chosen interests and scholarly goals. M.A. and Ph.D students compose a formal "plan of study," after one year of coursework, which must be approved by advisor(s), faculty supervisory committees, and the graduate director. This plan of study details the particular curriculum each student will accomplish, indicates which classes fulfill particular requirements, and charts a direction for scholarship.

The below list provides our anticipated graduate courses to help students and faculty construct plans of study. 

Students from outside the Communication Department who wish to take one of our graduate courses should contact the instructor via email for a permit.

This schedule is subject to changes and revisions. Some course titles may be altered when published.
