Overview

The Hank Greenspun School of Journalism & Media Studies offers a graduate program of study leading to a Master of Arts degree. Courses of study are designed both for students with a career orientation - in such diverse arenas as human resources, politics, advertising, education, public relations, broadcasting, and social services - and for those who aspire to continue their education in doctoral programs. All students are required to take four introductory courses: survey of graduate studies, quantitative analysis, qualitative research methods, and theory. Yet because each student's goals are unique, the curriculum allows flexibility in developing individual degree programs. Such development aims to balance the discipline's varied traditions in theoretical, historical, and applied research, with particular attention to the changing culture of the twenty-first century. Available Options: Thesis Track Non-Thesis, Professional Paper Track Non-Thesis, Strategic Digital and Social Media Track Learning Outcomes: Develop a grounding in mass communication theory. Achieve competencies in research methodologies relevant to the field. Develop critical thinking necessary for careers in higher education or management in the media industries. Balance the discipline's varied traditions in theoretical, historical, and applied research, with particular attention to the shifting media landscape.
