Master of Arts in Media Communications

The media communications degree is for students who have both an interest and background in communications. Students may choose to earn a master of arts (M.A.) in general media communications or an M.A. in media communications with one of the following areas of emphasis: advertising and marketing communications, public relations, communications management, or media literacy. Selection of an emphasis area is optional and is recommended only for students with interests in one of these specific programs of study.

The M.A. in media communications is a specialized concentration available to individuals who qualify for the program. Qualifications include an educational background in their intended area of graduate communications study or professional experience in their area of interest. Students without educational background or experience in the communications field are required to enroll in 6 credit hours of prerequisite coursework. The selection of prerequisites will depend on the student's area of academic interest in communications and will be determined through consultation with an academic advisor. Students must earn a grade of "B" or better in the prerequisite courses before they will be allowed to enroll in graduate courses. The prerequisite courses do not count toward the 36 credit hours required for the degree, nor will they be considered as part of the credit hours required for advancement to candidacy
