Overview

The Department emphasizes two areas of study: Relational Communication and Public Communication. Faculty research and expertise focuses on interpersonal, small group, and organization communication, media studies, political communication, public advocacy, research methods, health communication, and intercultural communication. Courses of study are designed for students with various career aspirations. Students may choose a more applied, professional path, where the M.A. is a terminal degree. Alternatively, students with a stronger research orientation may choose to enter a Ph.D. program upon completing their M.A. degree. For either path, while at UNLV they work to acquire proficiency in critical analysis, social scientific and humanistic research methods, argumentation, and oral written presentation. Upon completion of the Master of Arts program, students should be able to: Identify, explain and critique the major paradigms and theories that have shaped the field of communication, including their historical development and current trends. Understand ethical values central to the communication discipline and apply those values within a variety of personal and professional contexts. Communicate in a clear, persuasive, professional, and ethical manner that synthesizes ideas and information. Critically evaluate information pertinent to communication research and apply it across a variety of personal and professional contexts. Formulate research questions about communication phenomena/topics, identify relevant methods/processes, and engage in research to answer those question(s). Demonstrate advanced-level knowledge in communication including one or more areas of specialization within the field. Formulate a career plan to illustrate skills for obtaining a position within your chosen profession or the pursuit of an advanced degree. Available Options: Thesis Track Professional Project Track
